Video of The Week: Kimbra


Kimbra - Good Intent

   Last week's V.T.W. (Video of the Week) featured Gotye getting a helping hand from Kimbra, the lovable Kiwi who's been slowly turning out bits and pieces of her debut album Vows. This week Kimbra takes center stage with her latest single to get the video treatment 'Good Intent.' The stylized throwback video is suiting given Kimbra's addictive vocals, a mix of St.Vincent and Blossom Dearie, coupled with the song's alluring blend of jazz and pop. A cleverly choreographed tug-of-war between good and evil, there is surely a few good things to be found here, an quirky, noir pop track and Kimbra, as gorgeous as ever. 
  Proving her success with Gotye on 'Somebody I Used To Know' wasn't a simple one off, there's plenty more to come from the New Zealand native with her debut Vows set for release in her homeland and Australia next week. Kimbra won't make it to North American shores till early 2012, until then enjoy a fun music video from one of Shattered Vinyl's 10 Artists To Watch in 2011!
