KIMBRA VOWS VINYL FULL

This is not a song about someone just discussing the issue of вЂњsettling downвЂќ with a partner, it is from the stand point of a child on the verge of becoming an adult and confusing what has been taught to her as how things are supposed to be with the reality of how relationships really work. Intent and motivation is the key to understanding the song and how the music is reflecting the emotional state of the singer. to support the lyrical content which on their own might seem innocuous or almost banal until you read between the lines and get into the head of the protagonist that is singing it, ( Kimbra or some hybrid of her and her influences creating the character.) The song takes on a cinematic quality with very stark contrasts of loud, soft, harsh, warm etc. The song has many movements that, considering Producer Francoise TetazsвЂ™ work in film and subsequent interviews with Kimbra of how he helped to Produce the album, speaks to the working method of the songs that he was involved in on this record.

KIMBRA VOWS VINYL FULL

(I would love to pick the brain of Kimbra and Tetaz to find out as again I am in full supposition mode here and I am a sucker for the reasoning behind such decisions! Remember I have my Producers hat on!!) As such I think the montage, as brief as it is at 20 seconds, is integral to the scope of the album and the subtext that I am hearing in the album as a whole, (more on that in later installments)! For the purpose of the song by itself it may be superfluous but I find that I now miss it if is not there. versions are due to space considerations, (the vinyl), and, (perceived), western sensitivities towards вЂњweirdвЂќ music, (the U.S. I can only assume the reasons for the montage not being on the vinyl or U.S. versions of the CD, straight into the meat of the song but on the Aussie/NZ CD import, the album begins with a hallucinatory montage of the voices that make up elements of the structure of the song that if one was not to have heard before any other version, would make you wonderвЂ¦what is going on here and what is this I am listening to? This is how the song starts in the video as well as the Aussie/NZ Vinyl and U.S. Talk about throwing in your biggest hook into the water to see what comes up! Spending her early years gigging around her native New Zealand, it was only once Kimbra borrowed a small eight-track recorder from her school's music department that her song writing blossomed in earnest, This new tool opened up a new perspective, leading to a flurry of tracks that featured her signature layered vocals, including the inkling that became single 'Settle Down', Discovered at the tender age of 17, Kimbra relocated to Melbourne to follow her musical path, Kimbra's debut record Vows, three and-a-half years in the making, charts not only her growth and development musically over this time, but personally as well, Recorded and arranged at home as well as in various studios, it presents her unique worldview on life and love, Even at twenty-one years of age, Kimbra already possesses the maturity and musical sophistication of the mavericks she is so often compared to - from vocal legends Nina Simone and Jeff Buckley, to radicals the likes of Prince, and contemporary artists such as Bjork and Janelle Monae, Kimbra self-produced Vows alongside Australian Urban export M-Phazes (Amerie, Pharoahe Monch) and the refined skills of Fran ois T taz (Bertie Blackman, Gotye) whose focus on imagery taught her to treat the album like a film.How does one start ones first song on ones debut album?
