It then creeps back in with lilting hidden track Somebody Please (which stands alone later on in the album). It’s a sensual affair that roils with her gritty coo and throbs with heavy instrumentation only to cut off for a full minute. Song The Build Up certainly attests to that. She plays with it, writing music that’s more a playground than a traditional musical composition. Vows opens with Kimbra’s unconscionable timing with track Settle Down. Her syncopated vocal rhythms are classic in execution however, there’s something noticeably nuanced about the way she uses her voice. Her almost elfin fascination with vocal layering and grandiose composition takes this artist and this album to another realm altogether. Quite frankly, this is an album I wish I’d written. She fuses a few genres and bends and twists them into different species, then has the nerve to piece everything together with a vocal perfection that pretty much took my breath away. And yet, this young woman from New Zealand simply sighs and causes a ruckus. ![]() Vows is the type of debut that any young singer would give their reproductive abilities to have been able to create. I’m actually almost at a loss for words… almost. ![]() ![]()
