Kimbra is a musical genius. From the moment I first heard her jazz vocals on her Unearthed profile, to seeing her explore wild ideas, sounds and personalities (and of course a few big collaborations), she is always someone who's music and ways of approaching it has fascinated me. Over the years, she's also someone who I've seen who thinks intensely about the art that she makes, and that her contemporaries are putting into the ether. Kimbra is someone who doesn't do things by halves; her approach to art, thinking, pop music and creativity always floors me. So I knew she'd deliver a  brilliant Take 5. And oh boy, she sure did. Over five songs we talked about the sonic sigh of beautiful vocals, the digital connection and disconnection we all need, and the responsibility of the artist in the times we live in. What a joy.
