Kimbra’s visit to Expo 2020 Dubai this week is, in a way, a homecoming.
For the past 14 years, the two-time Grammy Award-winner from New Zealand, whose full name is Kimbra Lee Johnson, has built a successful career in the US as an adventurous singer-songwriter and producer.
The relocation has paid dividends with her landing a 2011 chart-topping hit – Somebody I Used to Know with Aussie-Belgian artist Gotye – headlining the US music festival Coachella and releasing three acclaimed albums.
Her Expo shows at Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre, on Monday and Wednesday, mark the first time an audience will hear tracks from her coming and yet-to-be-titled fourth album outside of the US, where she recently completed a small run of sold-out gigs.
The UAE concerts are being organised by the New Zealand Pavilion, and Kimbra, 31, is looking forward to being a cultural ambassador for the Kiwis.
“I don’t get many chances to represent New Zealand as I have been living away since I was 17 years old,” she tells The National from New York. "It still remains so much part of who I am, though, in that I am a Kiwi through and through.
“I am just excited to be at the Expo and to align myself with New Zealand.”
Experimental sounds
Like many of her peers, Kimbra’s whirlwind career of back-to-back global tours suddenly stopped in March 2020 with the pandemic shuttering music venues worldwide.
While the change of circumstances was disorientating at first, she used the time away to work on her most experimental album yet.
“I have been using a lot of different technology to manipulate and create new effects with my voice, whether it is looping it, making it sound like a choir or even a synthesiser,” Kimbra says.
"As a result, the new songs are challenging to record and play live and we are trying to learn them and get them right.
“Being on the road a little bit, we are seeing how the songs are opening up and taking on their own lives. It's exciting."
Everything about the album, Kimbra says, has been created with the aim of pushing the envelope and inviting fans to be part of the process.
Both strands come together in her latest collaboration with online platform KLKTN (pronounced collection).
Kimbra joined the tech start-up in October and now fans can click on her page and get paid access to fresh tracks, video diaries, behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the album, plus NFT artworks.
"I am trying to create a community of fans who really want those insights, like hearing the original demos of the songs," she says.
"And I create so much that just sits there on my computer that I realised, why don't I share this with people?
“Getting involved in the visual artworks for sale is also a pretty exciting step because it provides income for artists, that we didn't have for a long time."
One of pop music’s weirdest songs
One track Kimbra won’t have a problem playing in Dubai is the aforementioned Somebody That I Used to Know.
When Gotye recruited her to sing the break-up ballad a decade ago, the last thing on her mind was global acclaim (including being sung by the cast of TV series Glee).
"Whenever I hear it now on the radio, it just takes me back to performing it at Coachella or on Saturday Night Live," she says.
"My brain goes back to all these memories, like recording the vocal in my bedroom.”
While she doesn’t exactly understand how such a slow-burning track became such a big hit, Kimbra says its success remains a source of confidence when composing her own unorthodox songs.
"It is a weird song but it does give me faith that some things can succeed the way that song did.
"It also made me really ambitious as an artist. So if any record label person tries to tell me what makes a hit, I will just stare him in the face and tell them 'really?' Because I was part of a hit and it definitely didn't sound like that.”
Kimbra performs at the Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre, Expo 2020 Dubai, on Monday and Wednesday, November 8 and 10, from 8.30pm. Concerts are free with an Expo pass. More information is available at the New Zealand Pavilion website.

Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.

Keep it fun and engaging
Stuart Ritchie, director of wealth advice at AES International, says children cannot learn something overnight, so it helps to have a fun routine that keeps them engaged and interested.
“I explain to my daughter that the money I draw from an ATM or the money on my bank card doesn’t just magically appear – it’s money I have earned from my job. I show her how this works by giving her little chores around the house so she can earn pocket money,” says Mr Ritchie.
His daughter is allowed to spend half of her pocket money, while the other half goes into a bank account. When this money hits a certain milestone, Mr Ritchie rewards his daughter with a small lump sum.
He also recommends books that teach the importance of money management for children, such as The Squirrel Manifesto by Ric Edelman and Jean Edelman.

Five famous companies founded by teens
There are numerous success stories of teen businesses that were created in college dorm rooms and other modest circumstances. Below are some of the most recognisable names in the industry:
- Facebook: Mark Zuckerberg and his friends started Facebook when he was a 19-year-old Harvard undergraduate.
- Dell: When Michael Dell was an undergraduate student at Texas University in 1984, he started upgrading computers for profit. He starting working full-time on his business when he was 19. Eventually, his company became the Dell Computer Corporation and then Dell Inc.
- Subway: Fred DeLuca opened the first Subway restaurant when he was 17. In 1965, Mr DeLuca needed extra money for college, so he decided to open his own business. Peter Buck, a family friend, lent him $1,000 and together, they opened Pete’s Super Submarines. A few years later, the company was rebranded and called Subway.
- Mashable: In 2005, Pete Cashmore created Mashable in Scotland when he was a teenager. The site was then a technology blog. Over the next few decades, Mr Cashmore has turned Mashable into a global media company.
- Oculus VR: Palmer Luckey founded Oculus VR in June 2012, when he was 19. In August that year, Oculus launched its Kickstarter campaign and raised more than $1 million in three days. Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion two years later.

Tearful appearance
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.
