Most of us got to know New Zealand singer and guitarist Kimbra from her 2012 duet with the Belgian-Australian singer Gotye, called "Somebody That I Used to Know." In addition to becoming a chart-topping hit, the song also won Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and was accompanied by a highly-viewed stop-motion music video that featured both singers' bodies being covered with patterns of paint.
While the duet was still riding high on the charts, Kimbra released her R&B and jazz-influenced debut solo album, Vows, here in the States. She joined us on Soundcheck to play songs from that album and blew us away with her powerful vocals and expressive performance. And we weren't the only ones who were impressed: Her performance of "Settle Down" in the Soundcheck studio quickly became the most viewed video on WNYC's UA-cam channel.
Watch Kimbra perform "Miracle" from her new album, 'The Golden Echo,' in The Greene Space at WNYC.

I love how she is her own back up singer. Again...such a technical singer.
Kimbra never stops surprising me. Truly amazing.
This performance is one of my favorites its so stripped down loved her runs as always!! Her vocal gymnastics is sick!!! We need a full version of that outro ASAP
Yesssss
I'm 90% sure the outtro is a Kaytranada song but I could be wrong
You can really tell when she's having an off day. She's got a great voice, but maybe she's tired or not feeling well, because she's keeping this performance rather simple. The way she's making the notes in her voice more of a staccato, rather than stringing them along together, flowing, just seems like she's putting a lot of effort to making sure her voice doesn't crack or sound bad. My guess is she'd been sick before this or was sick at the time.
magic song
This recording makes me happy.
Yay this is finally on UA-cam!! I've been going to the wnyc website everyday lol
I literally just found out that the break down at the end was Michael Jackson. I love this chick
I love 💘 this performance:)
she is sooooooooooooooooooooooo cuTe
At the very begininng her outfit or something reminded me of Julian Casablancas 😍
Queria muito isso!
What is the song at the end of the video ? It sounds like "I can't help it", (a song written by Stevie Wonder for Michael Jackson) but with different lyrics.
Probably is, she samples a lot of that era and if you're an uber nerd like me you hear it. Haim does it a lot too, well done bruvs ;)
Now that I recognized the song I want her to cover the entire song !! =)
she's just improvising the lyrics, but yeah its clearly i can't help it
Awesome
Her voice is so wonderful 🌟 Is a queen ;3
R&B funk album next????
maravilhosa!
*doot doot*
Prince sad she was good. Prince oughta know what good is.
The fact that she can't dance 'well' makes me feel better. XD
+sirako I love it too, but she's just her own sort of odd dancing and it's adorable
Hey. :D
Is she high? no offence
Ro Ravena offense?
Sue me.
Nah, probably tired.
love this track, but this wasn't a great vocal performance
