Kimbra with special guest Tei Shi
New Zealand-born pop star and two-time Grammy Award winning tour de force Kimbra is readying her fourth studio album, A Reckoning. Produced in tandem with Son Lux's Ryan Lott, A Reckoning features brand-new singles "Save Me" and "Replay," which channel heartbreak amidst a global pandemic into bold new sonic territory.
This is just the latest chapter in a series of Kimbra's overall career success: the experimental pop performer's 2011 debut, Vows, bowed at No. 14 on the Billboard Top 200 and was certified platinum in Australia and New Zealand. That same year, she exploded into the public consciousness with "Somebody That I Used To Know," a duet with Gotye that earned her two Grammy Awards for "Record of the Year" and "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance," as well as reaching No. 1 on global charts (across 18 countries) and selling more than 13 million copies.
Tei Shi (pronounced "tay-shee") is the moniker of singer/songwriter and producer Valerie Teicher.
Since her first two EPs, Saudade (2013) and Verde (2015) "introduced her to the world as a skilled and fluid vocalist... [Tei Shi] has fully stepped into her own, brewing up confections centered on trusting your own intuition." (Pitchfork). Her groundbreaking song Bassically garnered over 17 million streams on Spotify alone and set the scene for her critically acclaimed debut album Crawl Space (2017), which was highly revered by the likes of NPR, The New Yorker, Pitchfork, The Fader and The Guardian, and projected her as one of today's most influential multidisciplinary acts.
Her new single, GRIP, marks the beginning of a new chapter for Tei Shi as a truly independent artist, fully in control of her sound, creative direction, and business. The song discusses the disappointment and anger brought about by some of her experiences in the music industry, and paves the way for a breadth of new material set to be released throughout 2022.

More about Kimbra
"Maybe you know her from her hit singles Cameo Lover, Good Intent and Two Way Street, or you're one of the many voters that helped put all three in the ranks of Triple J's Hottest 100 - the world's biggest music poll. Maybe you're one of the 12,000,000+ total views of her stylish videos on YouTube. Or the fact that she won the ARIA for 2011 Best Female Artist. Perhaps you better recognise her from her duet with Gotyé on the world-conquering Somebody That I Used To Know, a chart-topping hit in 11 countries world-wide, and No. 1 for 8 weeks on the Australian singles chart. The name may ring a bell from any one of her electric live shows, including performances at Splendour In The Grass, Big Day Out, Meredith, Parklife and a sold-out national headline tour, with forthcoming shows including Groovin' The Moo.
The point is: if you don't know Kimbra by now, then you're in an ever-diminishing minority."
