mxdwn Interview: Kimbra on Creative Production & Writing Process of New Album "A Reckoning”

Greg Poblete interviews Kimbra for mxdwn.com. Kimbra’s fourth studio album, A Reckoning, shows fans how she has crafted an arrangement of songs that enables her to be the ultimate storyteller. mxdwn had the opportunity to interview Kimbra as her tour was coming to an end, a tour that has been an emotionally releasing journey. Without a major label, she was able to create a team that has kept her true to her fearless self. Alongside her co-producer, Ryan Lott, Kimbra created an album that has allowed her to flourish. While still holding a pop feel, the record is also daring and experimental. With Lott’s help she has been able to play with space and this has manifested into an album that is not only hard-hitting, charged and cathartic, but also deep, intimate and tender.

1:51 You put it into words I have never had for my experience in NY! The dichotomy of being “totally anonymous and totally connected at the same time” is what always draws me. I don’t love the city but I love this experience that you can’t find many other places.

I actually do feel that her songs are very poetic. Because English is not my first language, it'd take that much raw force to touch my emotions and nothing would do that better than poems. One of my fav Kimbra songs is As You Are. I love the version she did with the Artist Journal. I don't think I can ever articulate the impact that song had on me or the feelings it evoked. It reminded me of how I felt when I first read Vowels by Rimbaud - just so profoundly beautiful and romantic.
