Recently speaking with Billboard.com, Gotye revealed how he came to work with Kimbra [3] on "Somebody."

"After struggling with what to do with it, it kind of struck me that I needed a different perspective. It should be the other side of the relationship," he said. "I wrote that part and then went about looking for the female vocalist I thought could really give it something edgy"

Gotye kicks off his spring headlining tour this week, on March 22, in Washington DC. The tour runs until April 15 and 22, with Gotye performing at the Coachella Festival in Indio, CA. For full dates, visit Gotye's official website [4].
