In 2011, independent Australian singer-songwriter Goyte, quietly released a song called ‘Somebody That I Used to Know,’ on a small independent label. That little song with a low-budget video went on to top the charts all around the world (including the UK & US) and became one of the biggest hits of the entire 2010s decade. But just as soon as Gotye arrived on the music scene, he seemed to disappear again, just as quickly.
So who exactly was this enigmatic singer-songwriter and where did he seemingly vanish to? Why didn’t he try to capitalise on his new found fame and success back in 2012? Did be retire from the industry? Is it really true, he turned down millions for his music? And can we ever expect another album from him in the future? This mini-documentary explores all these questions and more.
