This song has been popping up in my recommended on YouTube for days so I finally gave in and am featuring it since it's been long enough now that we might be able to stomach this overplayed song. Gotye is Wouter De Backer, whose been active since 2001. He started a band when he was in high school called Downstares, then when they went their separate ways after school, he started working on his solo project. He chose the name Gotye because that's what his name translates into in French and was a pet name from his childhood (although he gave it funky spelling). He continued as Gotye, but is also part of a duo called The Basics, which had four albums as of 2010. As Gotye he has three albums out, the most recent in 2011, but he's been active in the industry since then, with lots of shows, his own label, and some singles. Kimbra Lee Johnson is a New Zealand singer whose been active since 2000. She has three albums, all from after 2011, and has a couple of Grammy's thanks to the feature in this song. Her career is pretty full of stuff, but I'm already running late, so you'll have to check it out yourself.
Peace.
