A Belgium-Australian artist by the stage name of Gotye has flown under the radar lately…except on youtube where his single “Somebody That I Used to Know” has racked up over 21 million views. His real name is Wouter de Backer and he is an indie-pop artist that has really come up with a fantastic single. This song features Kimbra, a singer/songwriter from New Zealand who currently resides in Melbourne, Australia. Her style has got a fantasic jazz/soul feel to it and she really adds a complimentary contrast to the style of Gotye.
This collaboration has obviously drawn the attraction of a lot of listeners and hopefully more people will be exposed to their sound. To go along with this fantastic track is a very unique and creative music video. The two are musical artists by trade but in the video they become part of a canvas as they tell the story behind the song.
Enjoy!
