New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Company) Two-time GRAMMY Award-winning, critically acclaimed New Zealand songstress Kimbra unveils a new take on "Version of Me" featuring DAWN today. The original appears on her recently released tastemaker-praised third studio album, Primal Heart, available now on Warner Bros. Records.
On the record, "Version of Me" stood out as a stark, sparse, and stunning ballad, pairing stripped vocals and a piano hum amplified by orchestral strings. Kimbra's voice took hold on confessions like, "I swear that I'm trying. If there's a better version of me. Would you stay for the person I'll be?" However, this update transforms the musical backdrop into an ambient soundscape wrapped in nocturnal synths supporting intense vocal interplay and excavating a message of duality. The song comes to life as a passionate, provocative, and powerful duet, adding another dimension to an already seismic moment from Primal Heart. Meanwhile, the stirring music video directed by frequent collaborator Micaiah Carter makes an equally potent statement translating the themes into a captivating and dramatic visual.
