[@toxicallypink]

she's always better live than on album, she needs a producer that can capture that energy in studio too

[@indiepanda2598]

She is her own producer lol ;)

[@emmanueloluga9770]

that explains it

[@tschauzema]

I think it's just the visual aspect which cannot be (obviously) captured in an album :)

[@olivia1910]

yeah it's so weird I'm absolutely astounded by her live performances but I have a hard time enjoying her albums, it's just not the same ! It's probably the only artist that does that to me haha usually it's the other way around

[@soaribb32]

@@indiepanda2598 So she clearly needs someone to work with.

[@JessJArt]

She is an unparalleled talent. I can't get enough.

[@scottlilly3324]

She is the bomb. A master of her craft and she uses vocal modulation very tastefully!

[@Kroft0G]

0:12 Two-Way Street 3:59 Withdraw 15:00 Plain Gold Ring

[@boneheded2819]

I love how she can take a song and play it completely different every time I see her sing it.

[@lPyrokinetic]

She's got a superhuman ability to focus, she's giving us a live remix. Great, she's one of the most talented artist out there right now, why she's not more known is a mystery to me.

[@shalaya53]

seeing her in concert was the best money I've ever spent. she is phenomenal live!

[@Intensitalian]

Holy fuck. Intricate. Intricate simplicity...my favorite.

[@jeremyacton4569]

I like this 100%. Slightly strange and so very beautiful and very intelligent and great vocal ability. Kimbra just got a new fan.

[@colouredfreeways]

damn shes beautiful

[@thewanderingfairy]

I just... I just adore her so much. Withdraw always astounds me.

[@Geoffgeff]

This was perfect. Only a true musician can re-imagine their songs and make it feel so fresh!

[@TerezaNedvedova]

she's brilliant. she was freaking 22 years old here. pure talent

[@starstruckzz]

love how she always gives it her all

[@xviolaa]

Once those guitar riffs started kicking in on Two Way Street....holy shit

[@Gattobuono]

Kimbra is remarkable, bravissima!

[@OrestisTrips]

Interesting approach indeed!

[@NattyYami]

Her smile at the begging melts me to my very core.

[@LucasCAPS]

3:49 Hahahaha, that hand thing, even when not singing! Too adorable.

[@CoreyLansdell]

She's so talented! Every time I watch these live performances I just end up mesmerized! True talent and artistry.

[@suzannethomas3857]

God I love this woman and her vision to perform the way she is, finally another wonderful talent!!

[@Oshragul]

Wow! What an amazing voice!

[@Oshragul]

Oh yeah, and totally gorgeous… :)

[@sonechka2395]

I think that no one can sing Withdraw like Kimbra(It sounds very deep)) She will became a legend!!!

[@arunasimas]

I've got this on my playlist and I almost memorised the interview..

[@rescuemay]

Blows my mind everytime.

[@Hatatitla76]

She should do a Bond-Theme.

[@benjaminwalkenhorst9670]

YES! Yes, please!

[@davidanania5618]

I saw her live in Berlin a few nights ago (in a club that had a capacity of about 200 people!) and I honestly thought that exact same thing. She is a PERFECT choice for writing/performing a Bond theme.

[@iNREEk]

David Anania awesome. I'm hoping to see her in February. :) it sucks when the crowd sings though. I hate that. I can't hear her :(

[@amistosophoto]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3mqnpKgrbSXqtU this song comes to mind.

[@carlosfcruz-rr9hp]

Yes she should.

[@vandaenoch6580]

the song withdraw literally gives me chills, good chills! (Y)

[@Trinity5722]

This Woman is Breathtaking when she performs. I get lost in Time & Space when I experience her.

[@younjeongwon9807]

why isn't she famous? she really plays with her sounds

[@Eagle-pe9pg]

Always reinventing herself, from one live session to the next. Kimbra is amazing!

[@musicgirl0812]

I love how I get so very entertained weary time I watch her. So lucky I was fortunate enough to see her live in LA. I love this woman. So much soul!

[@imakebigsmiles]

The beginning of this songs makes me feel that she'd be great singing a future James Bond song lol Love her.

[@InsaneMetalSoldier]

I was thinking about something similar. It's like that kind of music you like to hear at the end of a badass movie

[@kellycollins7224]

imakebigsmiles and that she is genuinely too cool for the fridge...

[@imakebigsmiles]

Kelly Collins Well said lol

[@rescuemay]

Wish she played more songs on that day.

[@cpsthrume]

Her voice... and the sound. For whatever reason, it just melts my heart. Really, it can't get any better than that.

[@fhbroksoe]

She's brilliant....nothing less - I wish I were 31 again and could ask her out :o)

[@ronnywilson2112]

Love Kimbra she's so talented and underrated.

[@patrickvangelder1367]

Within the span of these 20 minutes, i fell in love. She is so sweet.

[@kingklabe]

Easily one of the greatest vocal artists of all time.

[@ARMONUMENTAL]

+kingklabe WTF.

[@kingklabe]

Meaning what? You totally disagree to the point of questioning my opinion with a profane acronym and incorrect punctuation because you don't have the vocabulary to state a valid reason to the contrary?

[@ARMONUMENTAL]

+kingklabe Your first comment it's very funny. You know nothing about the history of "vocal artists", you know nothing about music... it's just a WTF sentence. Deal with it.

[@ARMONUMENTAL]

+kingklabe Yes, if you think this girl is "one of the greatest vocal artists of all time", I KNOW YOUR MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE. And yes, I love football, the most popular sport in the world, nothing wrong with this. So... you are the fuckhead...

[@kingklabe]

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@valaki1087]

Incredible way of expressing her feelings through her music with her voice. Thats what I call pure art.

[@imanithecowboy]

Every time she performs it is something new, different. It's why I love her so much.

[@jamessmurf7937]

Well stated :))

[@margaritocolocho]

I LOVE HER.

[@hepa00lepa]

Kimbra speaks beautifully

[@teatrosadabandeira4694]

High quality music and presence

[@shibidin]

Kimbra is pure magic!

[@paigemsh315]

It's amazing how flexible her songs and, more importantly, her voice are. While normally I listen to music while doing other things, when listening to these I had to stop everything and just soak in the depth of her voice. Thank you Kimbra for bring flavor to modern music.

[@krollpeter]

Wow, Mrs. Johnson! Your voice, and what you do with it. Great performance. Better than the album versions. Peter Kroll, Singapore

[@foryourlove89]

this version of Two Way Street is so powerful!

[@jermainelong1843]

First time I've ever heard this artist. Very fascinating voice veering between soft and gentle, but gritty and fiery at the same time. Quality.

[@dudewheresmywaffle]

Amazing! Wonderful! She's much more powerful and interesting live than she is on her albums. Artist to hear yourself watching.

[@eric_plisson]

J"adore cette musique que l'on peut toucher comme de la matière et qui parfois s'en va dans les rues entres les immeubles. C'est tellement vivant, c'est tellement nous.

[@benjaminwalkenhorst9670]

Spectacular voice! I'm getting kind of antsy waiting to hear more from her!
