Music Tuesday #031: Timbra (pun intended)

Sometimes I hear a voice in a song which makes me stop and wonder who that is.  One such moment was when I heard Gotye's "Somebody that I used to know".  About halfway through the song a the second voice comes in with a very clean line which over the verse becomes coarser and really texture paints a couple's argument during a break up.  So that caught my attention.  Turns out that beautiful voice belongs to Kimbra.  I didn't know her, but off course the internet allows you to quickly catch up.  At that time she had one album out called "Vows".  Today I give you two songs I keep coming back to when I want to listen to that lovely voice, the unique Kimbra timbre.
