"Cameo Lover" by Kimbra

Open up your heart! Open up your heart! Open up your heart, let
Kimbra pull you out!


On this episode, Kirk goes for a swim in the extra-buoyant waters
of Kimbra's 2011 pop stomper "Cameo Lover." It's an intricate
musical narrative told through shifting time-feels, retro drum
beats, leaping vocals, and sneaky key changes, and it's just the
song to raise our spirits after a long, dark winter.


Written by: Kimbra Johnson
