Music News : Kimbra Debuts At #13 On Billboard
Chart
Kimbra's album VOWS, released only last week in
the USA, has followed on from Gotye's break out success in the states
by debuting at #13 on the world famous Billboard 200 Charts.
"It means a lot to have my album recognised in America at this level,
it's been an amazing experience to see it all come into fruition
especially after the time, energy and effort it took to complete" said
Kimbra after hearing the news.
"I'm now really excited to be touring the US and sharing these songs
with people one on one, it's cathartic to have them transcend from
being my experiences to now being someone else's" she says of her new
found success.
Kimbra, of course, also features in the #1 position on the Billboard
Hot 100 with Goyte for the worldwide smash hit single "Somebody That I
Used To Know", a song which has now clocked up an astonishing 21 weeks
in the US charts.
"This result reflects the effort and the
undeniable quality of Kimbra.
Kimbra has had such an amazing year with her success in Australia and
New Zealand, the global success of Gotye's single Somebody That I Used
to Know and now with her debut release in the USA".
"This also
highlights the talent we have in Australia and New Zealand and the
impact these artists can have on the global music scene... exciting
times" said a source close to the eccentric female singer.
After
recently completing her national sold out tour of Australia, which
received rave reviews, Kimbra is now touring North America with Foster
The People and promoting her album. She launched VOWS in the US with
two stunning performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live which we've got for
y'all right here - above and below!
