International newcomer Kimbra is featured on the latest release from CONVERSE'S Three Artists One Song music series. The original track, "Warrior," also features Mark Foster and A-Trak and was written, produced and directed by the three artists. "Warrior" and it's accompanying music video are available for free download starting today at www.journeys.com/pluginto.

Kimbra will release the US version of her debut album Vows for Warner Bros. Records on May 22, 2012. Vows features several brand new songs in addition to tracks from the platinum-certified Australian edition of the album.

Released in Australia in August 2011, Vows has earned Kimbra a "one to watch" rave from Rolling Stone Australia, won her the ARIA (Australian Grammy) for Best Female Artist and spawned three hit singles. These tracks, "Good Intent," "Cameo Lover," and "Settle Down," are also included on the US edition of Vows. Kimbra recorded additional tracks for the release in Los Angeles, CA with such producers and songwriters as Mike Elizondo and Greg Kurstin.

Originating from Hamilton, New Zealand, Kimbra has been performing her jazz-inflected pop since she was 14. Kimbra's haunting vocals and impassioned delivery on the Gotye track "Somebody That I Used to Know" have helped propel it to an international hit: the video for the song has over 141 million views and is at the top of the US radio charts. Kimbra is currently supporting Gotye on his US headline tour and will be performing with him on Saturday Night Live April 14th.
