Critical reception

"Goldmine" has received positive reviews from critics, with many complimenting the song's R&B-ish sound. Stan Mahoney of The Guardian complimented the song's "rising R&B chant" as a seemingly welcome "departure from [Kimbra's] art pop stereotype";[9] while Sasha Geffen of Consequence of Sound called Kimbra's vocals on the song "elastic" while also stating that the song has the strongest chorus on the album.[10] Ryan Reed of Paste echoed this notion, highlighting the song as "the album's true centerpiece".[11]

Music video

The official music video for "Goldmine" was filmed in a factory in Berlin.[12] It was shot in black-and-white using a high amount of stop-motion animation; and was directed by Chester Travis and Timothy Armstrong.[13][14]

Critical reception

The music video has received critical acclaim. Rolling Stone called the video "stunning";[14] while Paley Martin of Billboard proclaimed it as "an artful and edgy [...] piece set to a soul-piercing soundtrack".[12] Scott Heins of Okayplayer described the video as "hypnotic".[15]
