Vows, the debut album from New Zealand singer Kimbra, came out through Warner Bros. on 29 August 2011 at home, after sessions that stretched from 2008 to 2011. It's a restless, shape-shifting art-pop record that throws pop, R&B, jazz and rock into the same pot and trusts her elastic voice to hold it all together, with "Settle Down", "Cameo Lover" and "Good Intent" all charting as singles and "Two Way Street" following.
It opened at number three in New Zealand and peaked at number four in Australia, going platinum in both. Then it was rebuilt: a 2012 edition added 6 new songs and fresh mixes, mastered by Colin Leonard in Atlanta, including "Come into My Head", a cover of Nina Simone's "Plain Gold Ring" and "Warrior", with Mark Foster of Foster the People and A-Trak along for the ride. That version reached North America in May 2012 and entered the Billboard 200 at number 14.
