EP Beat: Kimbra

Settle Down EP   5/5


   A brief introduction to the Kiwi wunderkind, on her North American debut the Settle Down EP, and the love affair with Kimbra begins. 

   The brief sampler of Kimbra's debut album Vows, out in N.A. 2012, features quirky jazz-pop of the hypnotic title track "Settle Down" and the enthralling tribal drums of "Limbo." 
   Alongside the two proper album tracks is a live recording of "Plain Gold Ring (Live At Sing Sing) and once you've been stripped to your core by Nina Simone 2.0's genuine gift, Kimbra heats up the dancefloor with a remixed "Cameo Lover". A sultry, revision by Sam Sparro and Golden Touch Kimbra's pop gem, it's a lounge worthy remix, that translates Kimbra's versatility beyond a single genre.
   We sure to be seeing more of Kimbra in coming months and throughout 2012, in the meantime get your hands on this piece of pop gold.
