Somebody That I Used to Know was a global phenomenon for Gotye. For many musicians this incredible success would be a dream come true and a springboard for making even further music, but Gotye hasn’t released any new music since. What happen to Gotye?

I actually remember this song
Man, you keep delivering really great videos on interesting topics! Very well done!
Imagine the kinds of music the lower classes have that will never be shared with the world because they don't have the privileges Gotye and Jacob Collier enjoy.
Great vid again
He has become a collector of old electronic instruments. Some of collection is available at MESS ltd in Melbourne.
I just read that Wally, his real name, in French is "Gautier". Mind blown
Great story, in the end the question is: Is he happier because of this approach? My guess is that the answer is a big YES!!!!
Goatse
Bloody good content !!!
Let's not shortchange his voice. It's amazing, especially on the choruses. Cuts through like a knife.
Great catch-up on an artist I hadn’t thought about in a while. Somebody That I Used To Know is an absolute banger. Hearing something that soulful and creative on pop radio was a blast.
He's hog tied in my shed
Luiz Bonfá is Brazilian Portuguese, not French. The z is a hard s sound, and the accent over the a means something.
OK, hagiography over. Reality intrusion in 3…2…1…
Gotye has stopped because he hit an unsustainable degree of success.
A colleague of mine once told me about seeing Molly Hatchet at his local town celebration in the Chicago 'burbs. Molly Hatchet, for those who don't know, was a marginally-successful Southern Rock band c. 1980 or so, your basic "one hit wonder"…like Gotye. But this festival was in the early to mid 1990s. So, their set went something like opening with some non-hit, nobody paying attention…so they kicked into that Solid Sender hit, "Flirtin' With Disaster". Crowd does usual Pavlovian thing, lots of "WOOOOOO!!!!" and such. Then onto the next song.
Audience doesn't LIKE the next song. They want "Flirtin' With Disaster"! So…haul out the evergreen song again, try something else in 5.
Nope! They weren't having it! "Flirtin' With Disaster, motherf***ers!!!" Sooooo…
After what had to be the longest 40 minutes of their lives, their set…and obligations to the Village of Lombard…was done. On to the next county fair! But first…you love it SO DAMN MUCH…"FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER"!!!!!
Heyy thanks for making this video!! It gives great insights into what inspired this musician to write these kind of songs. I also think he's a very genuine person.
Great video!
Great video. I loved Somebody That I Used to Know and more importantly, it introduced me to Kimbra! But I never knew anything about how the song was constructed or what the artist was up to nowadays.
Who hear thought it was Ozzy Osborne?
I loved the song. The problem is the sampling. Deep down I think even Gotye knew that the backing track song wasn’t really authentic. It sounds fantastic, the lyrics are perfect, the production is impeccable, the mood created is wondrous but the samples are not music from his own soul.
Wanna know why music sucks so much these days? Because we haven't gotten anything from GOAT-ye.
Like all flukes, quickly forgotten LoL!!
Goatse
This is great!
So…what's weird about it?
Here's to the true at heart…
Great video and interesting topic. Well done! 🎶
Nothing more original and creative than manipulating other's intellectual property. Like drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa. Takes a mindless culture to appreciate that.
is it really that weird?
He didn't want the fame, so we went back to… The Basics.
Great stuff – thank you for putting this together – new subscriber!
On Wikipedia it says that he did have plans for a 4th album, but then says that Gotye most recently discussed it in 2018.
Who?
Very well done video, young man. Thank you.
I've been making music with samples, since 1986. I only just heard of this guy, when I clicked your video. 🤷♂️
He didn't have to cut us off…
