I realize I'm totally behind the curve on this, but have to share my newfound love of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know," featuring quirky New Zealand singer Kimbra.
It's an insanely catchy song about heartbreak that makes good use of a xylophone. I first read about Gotye in EW's latest music issue. They included him as one of the top 30 greatest artists right now (Kimbra made the list too). Then Blaine and his brother Cooper (played by the incredibly handsome Matt Bomer) sang this song on Glee, and Elise Testone and Phillip Phillips sang the song on American Idol.
Gotye (real name Wouter "Wally" De Backer) is a Belgian-Australian artist who has been pretty popular in Australia and Europe. Happy that he finally hitting it big here.
Check out the freaky video:
