@@Bronwyn031 If I search whether Kimbra was a last minute replacement, it seems to be true. Another singer bailed on Gotye the night before. Whatever happened, it's apparent that Kimbra found the vibe and style.

The lyrics are really good, and I recognized the instrumental from an old Brazilian song. When I checked the bio, I found out they were accused of plagiarism and had to include in the song's description that it "Contains a sample of the recording Seville as performed by Luiz Bonfa."

Kimbra often electronically manipulated her voice, so that doubling of the voice in the second chorus. You should listen to the original recording as well, it is so well mastered. Another of my favouriotes from gotye is 'hearts a mess' or 'smoke and mirrors'. Kimbra is fantastic as well, you should check out 'settle down' or 'two way street'
