Kimbra - The Golden Echo - Top 5 Debut!

23 August 2014 - 0 Comments

Kimbra - The Golden Echo has debuted at #5 on the country's Top 40 Albums Chart!

The stunning new album has also debuted at #2 on the Kiwi Albums Chart.

The Golden Echo is receiving high praise from critics around the globe, check out some of the quotes from reviews below:

NZ HERALD 5/5
Very much a pop album, except unlike anything else you've heard, and it's a lot of fun.

LA TIMES 3/4
A virtual layer cake of futuristic funk pop, contemporary R&B and maximalist Top 40 music slathered with the purple icing of Prince, The Golden Echo swaps styles with gleeful - and at times reckless - abandon, an apt pop offering for this pattern-on-pattern cultural moment.

IDOLATOR 4/5
In a world where there's an almost ironic ambiguity in pop music, Kimbra's The Golden Echo is setting a new standard of doing whatever feels right. Keep those feels going, Kimbra.

BEYOND THE WATCH 8.5/10
It seems as if Kimbra has gone over the majority of the press' heads since she put together a record that pushes boundaries and genres that stretch music to a true original form. Kimbra's exploration as a musician is exactly what we wanted and The Golden Echo is spectacular.

EXCLAIM! 8/10
Her eclectic and experimental approach to music blending pop, R&B and electronica elements is an intellectually rewarding experience.

PASTE MAGAZINE
Subversive pop brilliance.

MARTY McFLY
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... But your kids are gonna love it."
