Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye & Kimbra - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Somebody That I Used to Know" is a 2011 hit song by Australian singer-songwriter Gotye, featuring vocals by New Zealand singer Kimbra. It's a mid-tempo art-pop ballad that takes inspiration from Luiz Bonfá's 1967 track, "Seville." Its poignant theme revolves around the complexities of relationships. The song, which went on to dominate airwaves globally, was recorded in Gotye's parents' home in Victoria. It was written and produced by Gotye, who came up with the quirky instrumental arrangement. The song faced a setback when a high-profile vocalist withdrew, leaving Gotye scrambling to find the right singing partner, ultimately choosing Kimbra. "Somebody That I Used to Know" was a monumental success, topping the charts across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the US, among many other countries. It won Australia's Triple J Hottest 100 poll in 2011 and grabbed multiple ARIA Music Awards. It also won two Grammys. The song went on to amass over 1.4 billion streams on streaming platforms and sell over 20 million copies globally, cementing its place as one of the best-selling digital singles in history.
