"Somebody That I Used to Know" might be catchy, but it barely even hints at the degree of talent present in his other songs.

I'm sure you will love the concert.

But I've seen several reviews of his album which are very positive, and one critic compared him to Sting. So he must be pretty good.

If you haven't seen the video for "Somebody That I Used To Know," go to YouTube. It is hypnotically compelling. I see that Kimbra is supporting him tomorrow night in Dallas, but not tonight in Houston. Can't make it to Dallas, but will still enjoy tonight thoroughly.
