International newcomer KIMBRA debuts at # 14 on the Billboard Charts with VOWS



International newcomer Kimbra's VOWS debuts at # 14 on the Billboard Top 200 Charts with 21,665 albums sold. The album, released in the US on May 22, has received overwhelming critical acclaim:

"Fresh and surprising... She's still somebody you'll want to know. A" -  Entertainment Weekly   

"Vows gives R&B a wacky art-rock spin, with a cappella vocal chorales mutating into sumptuous funk pop. 3 1/2 stars"  - Rolling Stone 

"Vows is at all times thrilling and theatrical, filled with wall-of-sound orchestration and nearly-schizoid arrangements, all kept afloat with ease by Kimbra's elastic voice." - Glamour

"While most Statesiders probably recognize Kimbra from her poignant guest vocals on Gotye's massive cut "Somebody That I Used to Know," this record reinforces the accolades and proves that she's genuinely got it in her own right." - Filter

"[On Vows] she effortlessly blends everything from throwback soul to indie rock to urban funk." - USA Today
