вЂњSongs In the Key of Life,вЂќ is a record that does everything that you want it to do. Stevie Wonder is a master at creating that within pop. I would like to see that more in pop, so I take a lot from that idea of a very dynamic track listing. One of the big highlights of 2017 was the return of New Zealand musician Kimbra, who has been quietly working on her long-awaited The Golden Echo follow-up since 2014. I love a lot of the way that experimental bands take that attitude. New Zealand pop artist Kimbra has shared her first new song since the release of her sophomore album The Golden Echo in 2013. Kimbra:В Mars Volta was one of my favorite bands when I was younger and I loved how their records always started with an intense intro. New Music Septem10:26 AM By James Rettig. MM:В What are the albums that have inspired you to do this? The final song is literally just vocals and it feels like an ultimate statement of directness. I like to think I that I begin to strip away the layers. It becomes more contemplative toward the end, which most of my records have done. Kimbra:В There is definitely an arc to this one.

MM:В With this new album, do you feel the need to round it out into an emotional arc? Last summer, New ZealandвЂ™s foremost pop experimentalist Kimbra put out a wonderful, stubbornly eclectic sophomore album called The Golden Echo. They will follow down crazy avenues and, even if they don't like it, they will feel the authenticity about it.

You can gain their trust if you really bare yourself, and then you can find a way to lead them wherever you want. But again, I really believe in the emotional connection with the audience.

Kimbra:В Of course there's expectation, right? They have an idea of who I am and they come to the show thinking IвЂ™m going to play certain songs.
