The planets loomed into perfect, leisurely alignment for Kimbra Johnson over 2011 and '12. Thanks to her simmering and scathing featured vocal on Gotye's “Somebody That I Used to Know”, the Kiwi jazz-soul singer's name was on the lips of the world when she dropped her debut album, Vows. At the ARIAs she won Best Female Artist both years, while more ARIAs, APRAs and GRAMMY® Awards rained on the Gotye duet. The US version of Vows sailed into the Billboard Top 15 and her songs started cropping up from Grey's Anatomy to Frankenweenie. In 2014, the sophisticated soul-funk follow-up, The Golden Echo, won critics with a stellar cast from Silverchair mastermind Daniel Johns to strings maestro Van Dyke Parks.
