This is an awesome blend of blues, pop, and house. High Five!

I’ll definately be making every effort to see this guy perform live in Berkeley in September. Love his folk-blues style. High Five!

What does Gotye sound like?
A quirky and fun melting pot of genres including, but not limited to, raggae, jazz, lounge, blues, and motown.

Why I recommend Gotye.
Many artists have tried to break the boundries of genres and experiment in blurring the lines that define them. Gotye is one of the few that do it amazingly well. His album “Like Drawing Blood” has an array of different genres on the album and each of the songs all have a mesh of several. Part of his success in building such great sounds is his ability to sample. He doesn’t do it in an offensive way like many of today’s popular chart-topping hits, but in a respectful way. Simply put, the results of Gotyes sounds are intoxicating. They pull you in, like it’s completely new, yet also familiar. I highly recommend his album — there is also a remix album out of his single “Heart’s A Mess” (I have mixed feelings on that album).

Gotye – Heart’s A Mess

Nice bluesy take on gospel inspired music. High Five! (Highly, highly recommend their new EP, check it out)

It’s rare you see blues music fused with electronic music. High Five!
