With his voice being compared to legendary singer like Sting, Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel, Australian Singer/Musician Wouter "Wally" De Backer popularly knowns as Gotye has his single Somebody that I used to know top the Billboard chart this week and it already topped the iTunes Top 100 single charts. Before Gotye's recognition in US, he had already hit the charts in 18 countries including Australia, Belgium, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Denmark. As of April 24, the single has 176 Million views in Youtube and 4.5 million copies sales. People say the video is also responsible for the ballistic pick up of the break-up song. Also the vocals of New Zealand Singer/song writer Kimbra adds much freshness to the song, which is compared to the newness brought by singer Adele.
For me, when I first heard the song, I was wondering if the song is a cover of previous hit song by sting or The Police or Phil Collins but later found out it to be a new song. This song made me play on repeat in youtube and write this blog. Here is the hit song in youtube.
