Profoundly beautiful. What a flawless performance! Such incredible vocal talent and the confluence with the orchestra is enthralling! These words resonate powerfully with the deepest things in life.
I am only (perhaps) aware of Kimbra's name in the periphery of my music street knowledge, But this showcase of her vocal performance has certainly captured my attention. Stunning.
As a musician who has been performing for over 40 years, it actually makes me upset😢that Kimbra is soooo underrated… As far as I’m concerned, she is one of the best female vocalist of this era. Her talent is undeniable..
This is just SOOOOO GOOD. The writing and the way she expresses those feelings....it's golden to be able to transfer that to your listeners...take you to a place. Beautifully made
I wish a recording studio would capture an album of this version of Kimbra - just her live voice and some instrumentation. The outrageous talent we met with Plain Gold Ring at Sing Sing studios, still killing it today.
I agree, but I'm also glad she'll pick them back up and keep using them. Half her work is in the use of technology. She uses it not as a crutch, but as an instrument. As another dimension in which she can be creative.
I don’t get the impression that Kimbra cares about having the same level of recognition that the mainstream female vocalists have- and I think it shows precisely in her musical choices and trajectory. Dare I say, Kimbra’s appeal is rooted in how true to her artistic concepts she has been throughout her career; which are exactly what make her not mainstream
Man that E key in 'As You Are' has a direct line to my damaged heart. Underrated? She's rated exactly as she should be by those of us who know. And she's pretty famous... Perhaps as famous as she wants to be? To step into the next tier she'd have to make artistic sacrifices I don't think she or any of us would want.
I love Kimbra when she strips down the effects and let's her voice carry her music. Her vocals would be so intruiging in a jazz album! Maybe a collaboration with John Batiste?!
I WAS JUST THINKING THIS!!!!!!!! I feel like I can truly appreciate her artistry more now than ever, and listening to jazz is definitely a big reason.. I hope she does this!
Kimbra is punk in a way, really. And a thousand more amazing, superlative things mixed with that. Better to let your real real soul out to fly, grind, break & soar... than to ever let the 'machine' crush you in its deadening, limited box 🦋🙏✨️🦢
One more performance from Kimbra that cements her as my favorite female vocalist in my life. The passion and emotion in all of her work exist on another level for me.
I actually have tears in my eyes writing this. There aren't many words to describe the emotions you will feel with this song. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Goodnessssssssssssss why is this not overfllwing with comments. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is a literal Goddess in the human form.. that voice is unreal.
Kimbra is one of the most talented vocalists on the planet and I fear her legacy will be tied to “Somebody I used to know”. Brilliant song writer, brilliant performer and a voice that is simultaneously raw and elegant.
Let's hope not. That song didn't show even a fragment of her talent. Very under utilized and I understand why, no dig to Gotye but her voice could easily overwhelm him and outshine him in his own song. But it's not like it's a heavy singing song on his behalf so it's smart for her to meet him at his level but knowing the capacity of talent she has? That is what makes it disappointing for us as fans.
Thank you for this wonderful recording. Kimbra is a gem...what passion and what a beautiful voice. Pfff... A perfect performance with outstanding arrangements and musicians!
Raw performance that reaches the highest level of vocal quality and capability that can not be duplicated by any electronic sound.... this sound come from within the body of love and ultimate creation.... IN MY OWN OPINION. she reaches in this innermost intimate place... we are so fortunate to bear witness to this magnificent experience of sound generated from self awareness of true soul.
I think God just walked in the room and smiled at this beautifully gifted great singer musician and talent. Such great work Kimbra. Just so powerfully GOOD.Thaaaankyou. Beautiful and perfectly so.
This is..... This is........ This... Is perfection........ My heart is flying..... And feeling alive....... Love so so so so much kimbra. I just discovered your music and I feel in love with you..... You are just perfection......
Magnifique chanteuse! Quelle voix ! Je ne comprends pas pourquoi elle a pas fait plus de tubes que « somebody »😢 Mais peut être est-ce un choix personnelle!😊
This girl is nothing but the truth, she cannot be denied. Kimbra, you are the peak of Everest and people will always try to get where you are, I've made it there already just hearing your sweet soothing hypnotic voice. Much Love to you sweetheart ♥️🌹
Violinos e violoncelos chorando na apresentação de As You Are!! Incrível, eu estou simplesmente em crise com essa apresentação. Chorando horrores e como a Kimbra é maravilhosa ❤❤❤❤
