"The Wizard of Aussie Pop" Sunday Times

"Belgian-Australian singer-songwriter-sampler coming on like Beck fronting The Avalanches." The Guardian

"Gotye (pronounced "Gaultier"), a musical magpie from Australia whose eclectic tastes make Mark Ronson look blinkered..."  The Independent

"Praise Be for Gotye" The Times

"This Belgian prodigy seems a cut above, with sumptuous strings and smoky soul all tailored into genuinely original, funky delight." Music Week

"Hailed as the next Beck" Grazia

"learnalilgivinanlovin is a stomping soul record that mighty Stevie Wonder would have been proud of." Disorder

"Gotye throws together a bunch of quirky lyrics, a billion random noises to make tuneful, easy on-the-earmelodies" Glamour

"Soulful falsetto tops accordion-heavy tangos, clattering snares, fluttering strings and dubby textures laced with squelchy synths." Q

"The best cut'n'paste album since the Avalanches....Like Drawing Blood is a meticulously crafted mishmash that sounds thoroughly modern" Sunday Times Culture

" Makes Mark Ronson's musical tastes seem rather narrow-minded. Royksopp but with added soul. This is an amazing orchestral offering" Zoo

"A little bit lovely, A little bit haunting, a little bit sweet, a little bit funky." Daily Star

"Considering he is essentially a one-man-band (and a supreme drummer at that), you can only marvel at the scale of the soundscapes" Esquire

"Gotye is... a talented singer/songwriter/producer. His voice is precise yet malleable, running from smoothly soaring to roughly resigned, and his falsetto pierces like a light in the shadowy landscape of his music." Pitchforkmedia

Hot on the heels of debut UK album 'Like Drawing Blood' and following a triumphant reception for his unique multi-media 'one-man-band' shows in Europe, Gotye returns with 'Learnalilgivinanlovin', perhaps the quintessential summer single.

'Learnalilgivinanlovin' exudes a vibrant versatility, like classic Motown produced with Phil Spector's widescreen sunshine visors on, it's the most ebullient blend of racing drums, triumphant horns, and the sweetest soul falsetto you've never heard, like some lost 'Northern Soul' classic.

A huge summer anthem in his adopted Australian home where Gotye worked a series of dead-end jobs whilst working away on his music in his bedroom. Australia's Radio 1 equivalent Triple J picked up one of the 500 promos Gotye had pressed and sent out himself and started playing it. The Australian press then picked up on it to rave reviews, and Gotye found himself winning the Aussie equivalent of the Mercury Music Award and also a BRIT Award, an ARIA, in 2007.

'Learnalil' grooves along on a timeless instrumental with a breezy melody that's the perfect soundtrack to the hot summer we dream of, whether cruising country backroads, or toughing out the, sometimes, sweltering city heat while kids dance around chasing ice cream vans down the street.

Dare we say, like a 'Needle In A Haystack', soul trains like these don't come along very often, so we suggest you'd better get on board, it's a special ride!

"If yer always tryin' to get to the top, you don't get to the bottom of nothin'!

Then you're gone before you know it; You'd better stop! (STOP!)

Learn a little givin' and lovin'

It's been done before. C'mon, do it again!

Coz if it's good Then you should share it round

What's the use of keeping all the good things that you've found to yourself?"
