Frontier Touring is pleased to
announce that two-time GRAMMY® award-winning songstress Kimbrawill be joining Talking Heads bandleader David
Byrne as special guest on the upcoming New Zealand leg of his
acclaimed American UtopiaWorld Tour this November.
Kimbra recently released her highly praised third studio album, Primal Heart,
available now on Warner Bros. Records. The 12-track record won early praise
from the likes of Interview
Magazine, PAPER,
and NYLON, with Rolling Stone (USA) calling it
one of the 'most anticipated albums of 2018':
‘Kimbra: confident,
self-actualised star and feminist pop warrior.’ – Interview
‘Primal Heart is a sonically astounding pop masterpiece.’ – MXDWN
‘An impassioned narrative, wrapped in sharp, purposeful production.’ – Paper Mag
Kimbra’s voice seeped
into the hearts of listeners around the globe in 2012. She dueted with Gotye on
the inescapable quadruple-platinum smash Somebody That I Used to Know, and
confidently stepped into the spotlight with her debut album Vows, yielding hits Settle Down and Cameo Lover, followed by her critically
acclaimed 2014 full-length The
Golden Echo. In 2019 will make her motion picture debut as one of
the main characters in the upcoming film Daffodils.
Meanwhile, acclaim for David Byrne’s stunning live performances – the Annie-B
Parson choreographed concert he’s called “the
most ambitious show I’ve done since the shows that were filmed for Stop Making
Sense” – has left recent UK reviewers gobsmacked:
‘Daringly ambitious
and full of joy. So different, so memorable, so much fun.’ – The Evening Standard★★★★★
‘A disarming performance that makes perfect sense. An entrancing show of
extraordinary music. The show is incredibly ambitious.’ – The Guardian ★★★★
‘The American Utopia tour is one of the most mind-blowingly meticulous and
awe-inspiring productions you could ever hope to see. It might have taken more
than 30 years, but Byrne has somehow made Stop Making Sense look ordinary.
Perfection.’ – The Independent ★★★★★
‘Byrne and his 11-piece band put on an unforgettably unique, imaginative, and
kaleidoscopically entrancing spectacle of music, dance, and theatre. Even for
an icon like Byrne, this was something special.’
– The Daily Telegraph ★★★★★
