Kimbra | Primal Heart
Warner Bros.
According to Liz Itkowski: “From ‘The Good War’ to ‘Real Life,’ Primal Heart is solidly compelling pop. A middle ground between a noisier Lorde-style sound and stripped down FKA Twigs vocals, Kimbra has quietly released an incredibly strong album. It stands out as balanced and gratifying electro-pop that serves Kimbra well, a canvas for her gorgeous range and theatrical vocals. While it checks the boxes of several pop trends, Primal Heart still sounds fresh. And though it probably won’t get the relentless overexposure of ‘Somebody I Used to Know,’ people are sure to pay attention.”
