Kimbra hit mainstream success with her musical collaboration with Gotye on the smash hit single Somebody That I Used to Know. Since then, she has developed her own devoted fanbase with her catchy singles Settle Down, Cameo Lover and Good Intent. (If you haven't seen these, please check them out immediately!) Now she's hitting the US with her debut album -- and a nationwide tour!

Our host Chelsea Briggs caught up with the Kiwi singer at the 2012 mtvU Woodie Awards at SXSW in Austin this week and discussed her new album, body painting for the Gotye music video and where she gets her vintage style inspiration. Check it out!
