Gotye

Those who missed Gotye on his first U.S. tour will have another opportunity to catch his live show later in 2012. The chart-topping singer has unveiled a new batch of North American tour dates that will keep him on U.S. soil from August through October.

It really should come as no surprise, given the worldwide breakout status that Gotye's already achieved this year, but the vocalist was the big winner at Australia's APRA Music Awards over the weekend.

With a bassline made with a gigantic musical fence (only in Australia!), Gotye's 'Eyes Wide Open' is arguably more tense than 'Somebody That I Used To Know,' though it lacks quite the same charge as the song that (has almost) made he and Kimbra stars. Nonetheless, 'Eyes Wide Open' is a sincere, exciting cut, not destined to conquer charts, but sure to make its home in more than a few hearts. Read

It seems like people can't get enough of Gotye's unexpected hit song, 'Somebody That I Used to Know.' From the cast of 'Glee' to New York prog rockers Coheed and Cambria, no one can resist giving their own take on the breakup ballad. Fellow surprise hit makers fun. have decided to do their own cover of the track with help from Paramore's princess Hayley Williams, which you can listen to below. Rea

Gotye's extraordinary 2012 just keeps getting more extraordinary. 'Somebody That I Used to Know,' the hot Aussie export's crossover smash featuring New Zealander Kimbra, continues its assault of the Billboard charts, racking up its fourth week atop the Hot 100 and its tenth at No. 1 on the Alternative tally.

Gotye's breakout song, 'Somebody That I Used to Know,' has been one of the biggest hits in 2012, in part because so many people can relate to the song. However, it's unlikely that many expected a toddler to embrace the track, like 3-year-old Grace does in the latest adorable video to take the internet by storm.

Gotye may be sick of most of the 'Somebody That I Used to Know' parodies and covers, but he seems to approve of the Bad Lip Reading version, which dubs fake words onto his music video, making it appear as though he's singing ridiculous lines like, "If a woman fails to squeal then I'll smell her jeans."

Unlikely pop star Gotye doesn't seem to be taking it easy despite the success of his hit single 'Somebody That I Used to Know.' The musician is already thinking about his next album and says it will follow a more "traditional" path.

From hipsters to the cast of 'Glee', it seems like everyone loves Gotye's huge hit 'Somebody That I Used to Know.' Everyone, that is, except for the man who created the song.

Gotye's dissatisfaction with the 'Glee' cover of 'Somebody That I Used to Know' may have been blown out of proportion. The singer said at a private performance on Monday that the media misinterpreted his remarks and he actually believes the show's remake was "clever."
