Listen To Gotye`s New Cover- Somebody That I Used to Know
Winning no less than three ARIA Awards in 2011, Best Pop Release, Best Male Artist and Single of the Year ('Somebody that I Used to Know'), Gotye is one of the best well-known music artists of the moment. His talents as songwriter and singer are doubled by his achievements as multi-instrumental musician. However, Gotye is certainly not a 2011 discovery, as the artist has other prizes to boast within his musical career.
Gotye in Australia
Gotye, Wouter DeBacker, by his true name, is of Belgian-Australian origin. His songs were firstly played on the Australian radio back in the early 2000s.
At the time, Gotye started playing with fellow singer-songwriter Kris Schroeder under the brand of 'The Basics'. They launched 4 albums together between 2004 and 2010.
At this stage of his job, Gotye excels by the style of the CDs for his tracks, especially those in the Boardface album, together with the artist crafting each CD cover independently and after that distributing them around.
Platinum sales for 'Like Drawing Blood' album
Gotye's second album, 'Like Drawing Blood', earned the public's adore and broad recognition for the artist. The album was certified Platinum for sales in Australia and, in 2006, it brought Gotye nomination for an ARIA Award for best independent release. Recognition followed in the European music world also, beginning with 2008, for hits like 'Hearts a Mess' and 'Coming Back'.
Worldwide success
Today Gotye enjoys worldwide success and recognition, being often compared to the leaders of the music sector like Sting. The most recent album Gotye (DeBacker) launched was 'Making Mirrors', for which he worked with with fellow musician Kimbra for that single 'Somebody that I used to know'.
The single got the public's interest and votes, moving up rapidly in the ARIA singles chart, in spite of the insufficient airplay on commercial radios.
Gotye in 2012
At present, Gotye has reached 8 times the Platinum position with more than 560,000 units bought throughout the globe. The beginning of 2012 has marked a new stage in Gotye's music career: he developed his debut on the American tv on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in which he performed hit songs such as:
'Somebody That I used to Know' with Kimbra; 'State of the Art'; 'Eyes Wide Open'.
Admirers are looking forward to 2012 events, festivals and live shows to enjoy more of Gotye's show.
In the meantime, his single 'Somebody That I Used to Know remains' at the top rated of single charts. The artist's official internet site gives up to date info relating to the different activities where Gotye performs so that you can acquire tickets upfront and see your favourite artist.
