Kimbra Lee Johnson, known mononymously as Kimbra, is a New Zealand recording artist based in Melbourne, Australia. Kimbra's music is often experimental, fusing elements from various genres, including indie, pop, electronica and soul. Her musical influences range from Prince and soul singer Minnie Riperton, to Björk and Jeff Buckley. Her unique style was showcased on her debut album, Vows, which was released in Australia in 2011. Hit singles from Vows include "Cameo Lover" (which won an Australian Recording Industry Association Award), "Good Intent" and "Two Way Street."

A reworked version of the album was released in Europe and the United States in 2012. It featured several new songs, including "Come Into My Head," "Warrior" (on which Kimbra was joined by musicians Mark Foster from Foster the people and DJ A-Trak) and a cover of Nina Simone's "Plain Gold Ring." Kimbra is featured in the 2012 multi-platinum single "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye.

She and Gotye won the Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance awards at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards Show for "Somebody That I Used to Know." This achievement made her only the third New Zealand singer to win a Grammy Award in history.
