Australia's own Wally De Backer, aka Gotye, is taking the world by storm with his ARIA winning, 8x platinum accredited, "Somebody That I Used To Know" featuring Kimbra.
The track, which was the highest selling single by an Australian artist in 2011, has gained more traction on this week's Billboard charts jumping up a further place to #26 on the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, last week in the UK the track ascended from number eight to the coveted top spot - making the UK the tenth country worldwide to do honour Triple J Hottest 100 2012 winner..
Meeting with MTV, Gotye talks about the outstanding pop track"Somebody That I Used to Know, like a lot of the record, was a bit of a struggle to finish. It was written fairly quickly — I wrote it in November 2010 — but it took six months to find Kimbra and really realize she was the right vocalist to make the female part come to life. There were constant hurdles."
Not to be complete with just having a hit single on his hands, "Making Mirrors", the album in which "Somebody That..." is taken from, has already reached the top twnety on the Billboard 200.
"Making Mirrors" is available today [iTunes]
