    She is like herself. Why do people always have to compare artists? Lol they're all great artist. But kimbra is legendary. She doesn't mind being herself in raw form. And that is rare. I love this girl man

    @TripleC188 9 років тому +69

    I love Kimbra's live performances and her vocal looping. It's never the same two performances; she can sing the same song a hundred different ways!

      like a human synth, the synth will never gave you the same sound twice

  • @klallamcedar0099

    I love that she can have one of her own songs change in sound and style but still hold the same idea and 'tone' to it. It shows what an amazing artist she is.

  • @emerald_digitalis3135

    My favorite part about this video is how expressive she is with her voice,and the emotion throughout her body, it is very compelling.

      Claire Garner she does that every time she sings. Watch any performance of her. She can’t help but do it. I love it too

    you amaze me, Kimbra. doing scat? most people don't even know that expression. Jazzy sounds that mirror musical tones. popular in the 60's. i'm glad to see you making great music. bless you, Kimbra.

    What I love about her is how much passion she puts into these songs. I definitely love all the Live versions she's done. True musician.

  • @jakestersabo
    @jakestersabo 9 років тому +19

    I love the live looping she does with her vocals. I've never seen that done before.

    • @obrienpj2312
      @obrienpj2312 9 років тому +2

      If you like this, you should check out Reggie Watts. He is the master of the loop. Kimbra is phenomenal as well - just discovered her.

  • @pipfantasy

    This is art. My brain loves all of the variety. I usually don't gravitate towards popular music, but Kimbra is an exception and I can't help to watch her progression in music.

  • @TVMFAM
    @TVMFAM 11 років тому

    I thought the original "Settle Down" was perfection but Kimbra shows her real talent by being able to still grow from where she left off and then we are blessed with gifts like this where great music turns into twists of talent and experience that takes an old song and turns it into a new musical journey, and Kimbra does that, its like its not even the same song anymore. Its even better! Keep growing Kimbra!

  • @rbs2rt
    @rbs2rt 12 років тому

    I'm glad to see more people are beginning to appreciate Kimbra. I thought her American release CD would skyrocket, but...I guess the masses don't get it. I think she's more sophisticated than American pop taste. Then again, her talent is way too big for the pop scene. Her vocals, layers, loops and the ease with with she blends them all is off the chart. I haven't been so impressed in many years.

    I'll be honest, when I first litsened to it I was wondering why it was so different. I didn't like it, But as the song progressed I started to feel it more and more. She is an amazing artist. Really helps you keep an open mind to different genres
