9. "The Bilal/Kimbra Duet is Dope" In response to In response to 0 Sun Aug-17-14 10:51 PM by J-Elijah
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgBAq4gESsA "Everlovin' Ya" is the Bilal/Kimbra duet and it's dope. After streaming the album all week on NPR, I'm going to get the deluxe version. This album seems to have a mixture of sounds ranging from Prince NPG to Tweet to Bjork. At least give the album a listen before you pre-judge, it's better than you'd expect. I see why Kimbra and Janelle Monae were going to tour together. Love her cameo in Janelle's "Electric Lady" music video.
It's obvious that Kimbra has been influenced by R & B music artists like Aaliyah, Timbaland, Prince, Bilal, and Nina Simone. I wouldn't know how to classify her music, cause it's too far left to be pop. But I'm loving her strange voice, musical choices, and lyrics.
