Settle Down

Kimbra

unsigned/Forum5, Australia

WE SAY

Kimbra is a 20 year-old from New Zealand’s North Island, currently based in Melbourne. From the characterful vocal loops to the hand-claps, Settle Down is a cool and quirky pop song (complete with a great video), and has had early support from Perez Hilton as well as home support on Triple J. She has paired up with producer Francois Tetaz (Bertie Blackman, Gotye) and hip hop producer and artist M-Phazes to begin work on her debut album Vows, due out early next year. Her collaboration with breakthrough Australian dance act Miami Horror on single I Look To You led to widespread radio play and live performances at Australian festivals with the band. Kimbra is available to sign in various territories.
