Lyrically, Kimbra entices and is straight forth in her narrative Song writing brilliance is evident in her melodies, as they linger and tease you as the listener as the hooks are used sparingly, giving the listener a glow when they come around. The cohesion of Vows is also magnificent, with so much difference in her styling’s, Kimbra is able to tie everything together, and piece the differences together to make a cohesive and spectacular flow from the thickly layered vocals of ‘Withdraw’ to the silky husk 90’s pop of ‘Old Flame’. An example of this is the glorious cover of Nina Simone’s ‘Plain Gold Rings’, focussing on Kimbra’s self harmonization and empathetic vocals, while ‘Call Me’ is a huge jazz/soul tune that becomes bigger and better as it goes on. Placing herself into cameos with Miami Horror and the-shall-not-be-named Gotye single, Kimbra’s name was propelled worldwide, giving her the perfect launching pad to unleash her own musical styling’s on the public, and Vows is an album filled with mixed genre glossy pop, whimsical soul and fulfilling jazz renditions that shows Kimbra’s own writing is something to behold.Ī strong juxtaposition in musical style is what makes Vows so listenable, giving the listener so many straws to clutch at.
