Hi there, Kimbra!

Hope you're doing well. I love that you're doing another AMA already, so thank you for that. I feel we have learned so much from the last one and I can't wait to read all your answers to everyone's questions this time.

Let me start by saying that everything regarding Primal Heart that has already been released is spot on. Love the videos and how they're simple and pure in concept, but also encapsulate something so much more complex. All three of them are phenomenal (was also really touched by the Everybody knows rework video). In your new songs, I can clearly hear influences from your past albums, but everything feels much more evolved. I can just hear you're in a sweet spot creatively right now. That's why I trust you completely with the delay of Primal Heart and I wanted to tell you to take your sweet time, cause I just know when it eventually drops it will be perfect. I've got three questions for you I was hoping you would answer:

• I pre-ordered the vinyl ever since it became available and I know you said it was going to be amazing. Can you maybe let us know some more about it? Will there be different versions? Cool sleeve design or insert or something?

• Regarding the delay of the album, are there any radical changes that you decided to make (like change of tracklist, song structures) or are the changes subtle nuances that you felt were necessary to the art you're making?

• One song that we've heard a long time ago is Lightyears. I really loved it the moment I heard it and I didn't know whether to ask you about it, since you probably did not like the fact it leaked so early. Did the song change from that early version? If so, in what ways?.

Well, thanks for taking your time to answer our questions and thanks for taking your time to invest in the lost art of the album ;-). Hope you'll have a great year!

Kind regards, Harald

Thank you so much for answering, just made my week! Can't wait for the remix and the artwork and.. everything really haha You do you, kimbra!

Hi Kimbra,

First of all I want you to know that you are very important to me. I was intrigued by your feature on 'Somebody That I Used To Know' and did not dare to expect to be as amazed by your album 'Vows' as I was. 'The Golden Echo', as different as it was, was my album of the year. That's what I love about you: You're not afraid to change and you keep evolving always. I can honestly say that you sparked something in me that made me broaden my horizon when it comes to music. I'd love to ask you a few questions:

1- Ever since I've heard you perform 'Samaritan' (especially mashed up with that Daft Punk ;-) ) I've been hoping to ever be able to own it. I have a feeling it does not belong on 'Primal Heart', but please, will you ever release it?

2- I own both your albums on vinyl (aspire to own the australian version of vows, still) and I love collecting and connecting with music this way. Will you release 'Primal Heart' on vinyl? I'm hoping on a very cool collector's edition or something :)

3- Forgive me if I come off as pushy or something. I trust you to make an ALBUM, and to pay attention to all details to perfection. I'm just so excited for your new release that I almost can't wait any longer. Will there be a new song released soon?

Btw, 'Everybody Knows' is on full rotation and I also loved to hear you spit bars on 'On Top Of The World' (Got FIFA18 partly for that one :) )

Thank you for taking your time to answer our questions! It is really appreciated!
