    So. SICK. Kimbra is the most underrated artist. There isn't anyone like her.. and she's a babe lol

      well maybe now she is underrated. She used to be huge back when she released Vows.

      +Jesse Y She was never huge. o.O She was BIGGER, but not . . really popular?
      She is pretty underrated. I want her to do a song with Florence already.

    • @gamecokben
      @gamecokben 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sorry if you think atonal whining inherently makes music good, but that makes you more of a pathetic trend follower than the most ardent Swift fans. Both Swift and Kimbra can be f'ing terrible in their own unique ways. Your predilection to like garbage heap fodder like this simply because it's horrific doesn't make you a misunderstood genius, it makes you a counter-culture sheep.

      @victorenriqueperez 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      I completely agree. I was remembering listening to Vows for the first time in ‘12 and thinking how innovative it was and this is just blowing my mind as well haha. I think part of watching an artist evolve means to watch them, as just people, change, which is something us regular folk experience on a much different scale, but the more an artist evolves makes me feel like I’m capable of evolving too so... I’m extra super digging this new track, K. ❤️

    • @LG_Hakubi
      @LG_Hakubi 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Was listening to Vows on the way to work yesterday... This feels like a natural progression for Kimbra. It sounds like A baby between the two previous records - Vows polished feeling with Echo's creative layering and harmonies. I like it!

    Man this music video is really smart. From costumes, lighting, body movement, hair style, all of it has some meaning. She starts barefoot in simple black clothes, natural, messier hair, little body movement. That is her natural form, her being pure, having nothing but dreams of success. Then shoes get added, more macho movement starts showing up, and she starts tearing the pillars down as she scrambles for money and fame. Then the fancy dress comes up (with a Statue of Liberty-like tiara to indicate she achieved her American dream of money and fame), smooth, glossy hair, full on high lady style, building her palace. Lights start shining again (where previously lights shone only when she was in her "pure" form of being poor, barefoot and struggling to survive, singing how she's on her knees in the chorus - the light shows up again when she "prays from the gutters"). But this time the light is wrong, doesn't shine from the side like the sun but from the top, like the artificial lights of bars and pubs, representing the artificiality of the success she achieved, the impurity of it all. She made it, but she's tired, alone and hopes she didn't go wrong. Then she goes to full leather, metal studs, grungy, tearing everything down violently with body movements, when she realises all she fought for was a fabricated "chase".

      @@raconteur4069 Yeah, saw that too. One thing I missed (well, there's obviously more I missed, this is pretty deep and I likely misinterpreted half of it), when she switches to the latex outfit, she doesn't have the studded gloves at the start. That could represent her hands getting bound by the obligations she now has to keep up her success and keep the money flowing once she's "made it". Then the mask shows up to seal the deal, she's now fully blinded by the success, only once she takes it off and collapses among the rubble of her life does she see clearly it was all a lie. This went from a gorgeous woman wearing revealing dresses to a pretty deep music video in a hurry for sure XD

      Honest question, not trying to pick a fight, but what's so impressive about her dancing? I'm not an expert by any means but I didn't really see any moves from her that blew me away.

    At first, I thought it was plain boring with just plain background and pillar and one scene. I tried to watch it again and again, each time I watched it, I found new meaning and movement. I manged to create a meaning toward the start to end and now I really honestly love her as an artist. I don't want her to change, the music plays to my heart and I honestly love her dance. She's very inspirational. I bet most of people wouldn't understand at first glance, but that's the point. The art takes a moment and feels to finally understand and over time, it breaks down. That to me, is beautiful.

    No other artist gives proper tribute to their inspirations without copying their material. She's incredible. I feel like I'm discovering music for the first time.

    LYRICS ..
    On my knees, all my life I've been sold a chase
    Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
    Under condition
    We're on our way to the top
    We got the world at our fingers
    We make the penny drop
    Got a means to get me outta the gate
    And I won't stop till I wake
    I'll say it loud till I mean it
    Talk like I'll be the messiah
    When I'm on top
    I'm on top
    I'm on top of the world
    See me run
    See me run
    See me run with the girls
    I'm on top
    I'm on top
    I'm on top of the world
    I need a break, then I'll take to
    To top of the world
    On my knees, all my life I've been sold a chase
    Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
    Euphoria
    I missed you like a new treasure
    We go so good together
    Search all my life to find better
    But I won't hold my breath
    I'll just fill up and deliver
    They got attention deficit
    I wait for the good lord to visit
    Mary mary
    All my life turned to dust
    No one knew who to trust
    Had a chance for a good life
    See me on television
    On billboards and banners
    See me on white picket fences
    Now watch me building my palace
    Out on the run
    You'll see me gathering martyrs
    I won't forget where I started when we would
    Pray from the gutters
    Cause I'm on top
    I'm on top
    I'm on top of the world
    Send me up
    Send me up
    With the diamonds and pearls
    I'm on top
    I'm on top
    I'm on top of the world
    They can talk, they can talk
    But I got the good word
    And it's crazy I'm defined brand new
    It's amazing I got high on a view
    But tonight I'm feeling tired and alone
    Dear lord, I hope we didn't go wrong
    I think I'm winning
    Feel like I might
    Feels like I'm in it
    Feel like a god
    I'm in demand
    They're on my time
    One in a million
    Fought a good fight
    On my knees, all my life I've been sold a chase
    Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
    We prayed from the gutters
    Like martyrs we followed you
    Prayed from the gutters
    Like martyrs we followed you
    I'm on top I'm on top
    I'm top of the world
    See me run, see me shout what I heard
    I'm on top I'm on top
    Top of the world
    On my knees, all my life I've been sold a chase
    Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
    Uphill I'm winning
    Not concerned if I'm cheating
    They built me up to be beaten
    They built me up to be beaten

      Margo Margo, yes it would be so sad if Kimbra turn into a 'normal' musicician just for getting more money. Sadly I know some singers who done that. I hope Kimbra will always stay that special and unique kind of music. Sure mucician should always evolve and change. But never fit in Mainstream. Unique is very important to me!:-)

    You have hit every single genre of music. You are a musical genius. With Settle Down being one of the best songs ever written, made, and sung by you, to this brilliant song with so many genres in it alone. Also the video is fantastic, you always dress so classy, you just know everything that you are doing and you do it perfectly. Thank you for all you do, when I'm feeling low, and that's been so often lately, I just watch and listen to your music and I feel better. I've also watched your other non music videos and they make me feel better also. Please stay safe, healthy, kind, strong and happy everyone, peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.

    Wow, it’s the first time I game this song a proper listen since 2018, when was playing fifa 18. I remember liking it in the game, but it got a bit repetitive with me playing fifa for hours during the year. Now I ve came back and watched this amazing music video and it’s so refreshing! What an amazing song! It has character, confidence, great lyrics and production. I wish some movie used in in OST so it would get more views.
    Also, this summer is 10 years since I first heard Kimbra! Unlike majority of people discovering her via Somebody I Used to Know, i first heard her “ Come into my head” again thanks to fifa (2013).
    I imagined kimbra to be a completely different person than she is for some reason, but I really love her personality judging by the last mini video she put out. Gotta explore more of her, really love the sound!
