The great thing about music is you never know who’s going to grab your attention next. Seven days ago I had never heard of Kimbra and now she’s my favorite new artist. At the young age of 21, the New Zealand born Kimbra Johnson has already taken her homeland and Australia by storm. Her debut album, Vows, was released in late August (NZ)/early September (AUS), and soon after, she won Best Female Artist at the 2011 ARIA Awards and took home New Zealand’s 2011 Critics’ Choice Award. Kimbra’s music is as eclectic as her list of influences (she has mentioned Outkast, Bjork, Prince, Burt Bacharach, Michael Jackson, Rufus Wainwright, and the Bird and The Bee to name a few). If you’re a fan of either Adele, Duffy, Amy Winehouse, Katy Perry, or Bjork, you’ll probably like Kimbra too. Vows opens up with her hit single, “Settle Down,” which sounds like it could have been a bonus track on Esthero’s Wikked Lil Grrrls. Other standout tracks on her album include the Motown-inspired “Cameo Lover,” “Two Way Street,” “Limbo,” “Wandering Limbs,” and “Old Flame.” If her duet with Gotye – “Somebody That I Used To Know” – were included on the disc, that would be the cherry on top. Vows isn’t sold in the United States yet, but there is a digital EP, Settle Down, available on iTunes and Amazon. Can’t wait for the full U.S. release? Treat yourself to a holiday gift and get the limited edition import, which also includes a bonus DVD – Live at Sing Sing. Tracklist: Settle Down / Cameo Lover / Two Way Street / Old Flame / Good Intent / Plain Gold Ring / Call Me / Limbo / Wandering Limbs / Withdraw / The Build Up / Somebody Please (hidden track) Live at Sing Sing DVD tracklist: Good Intent / Settle Down / Two Way Street / Plain Gold Ring / Cameo Lover Keep up to date with all the latest on Kimbra at http://www.facebook.com/kimbramusic and http://kimbramusic.com/.  November 5th, 2011 |  : phantogram, sarah barthel |  : Concert Photos, Concert Reviews |  : Leave a comment Sarah Barthel of Phantogram They came, they saw, they kicked ass. Phantogram (Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter) performed to a sell-out crowd at the Music Box in Hollywood, CA last night. Reptar was the opening act and in between sets, there were a few lulls in the music which built up the anticipation. With each lull, the crowd anxiously watched for the curtain to rise until they finally made their way onstage. Sarah was dressed in all black, sporting black leather pants, a black leather jacket, and a black tank top. As she moved to the music, her face was often hidden behind her trademark bob cut, which only added to her mysterious allure. The duo was joined on stage by only a drummer, which only added to the show’s greatness. Sometimes, a live show just isn’t the same without a drummer. They played all their hits from Eyelid Movies (which is basically every song – the album is that good) as well as new music from their recently released EP, Nightlife. I meant to get a pic of the set list, but these two are so hip, they don’t even bother with the usual list taped to the floor. Monitors on the sides of the stage displayed each song as it was performed. Aside from a shout out to Justin Timberlake just in case he was in attendance (the band put him on the guest list), their wasn’t much onstage banter. Not that it really mattered though…everyone came for the music, not for storytelling. They played one encore before the all ages crowd left with their hearts and ears satisfied. Phantogram continues their tour in Phoenix, AZ as they make their way east before the final stop in Vermont. Visit their facebook page for up to date info.
