Kimbra is always hit or miss for me. While I recognize that she’s an overall talented artist, I don’t connect (musically, not emotionally) with every single track she puts out. Sure, her breakout vocal performance on the now-painfully-overplayed “Somebody That I Used To Know” was luxurious, and the dark weirdo-pop of “Settle Down” sold me prior to any of that nonsense. Then, of course, there was the sunny pep of “Cameo Lover” and the electro blog-fodder greatness of “Warrior”, her collaboration with DJ A-Trak and the dude from Foster The People.
But, uh, “Two Way Street”, the fifth and final single from her debut album Vows?
While I can’t necessarily call it a “bad” song, it’s just a little too polished and shiny-happy for my personal tastes. The Matthew Rolston directed music video, however, is fucking beautiful, and I could watch it over and over and over and over… And, well, you get the picture.

Wow, I love the exact same songs from that album, too, plus “Wandering Limbs”.
It`s pretty surreal to compare how she looks in something professionally produced, and a regular interview.
She’s cute, and it’s like she could pull off some of Katy Perry’s looks better than KP does herself. All that said, this song plus music video were a little unimpressive. Probably won’t be listening again, but thanks for showing them to me all the same, Dewitt!

Kimbra is an amazingly talented young woman with a beautiful voice who is doing extremely well in her career.Not bad for a shy girl from small town New Zealand.
