Gotye is the music-making mantle of Wally De Backer, songwriter, producer and all-round one-man band. A few years ago he created an album that became something of an underground classic. That record, Like Drawing Blood, was voted Triple J listeners' favourite album of 2006, and iTunes UK's Album Of The Year in 2008. In 2007 Gotye won the ARIA Award as Australia's Best Male. Artist and his audiovisually ambitious tour with a mini orchestra attracted huge crowds and critical raves.
Somebody That I Used To Know is the new single from ARIA Award-winning songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Gotye. Featuring vocals from lauded newcomer Kimbra, it's the second taste of Gotye's album, Making Mirrors, the highly anticipated follow-up to his platinum-selling classic, Like Drawing Blood which recently polled #11 Triple J’s Hottest 100 Australian Albums Of All Time.
The mid July release of Somebody That I Used To Know (featuring Kimbra) came a few days earlier than planned owing to a leak of the video online. Within a week the song had been shared online over 50,000 times and it is currently sitting at #8 on the iTunes single chart.
