3 solid artists & what I am sure is going to be solid LPs! I've heard Lewis' which at the moments holds my favourite single "First Date" with Fran Kora & the rest is a fresh sound of Synth, Sax & awesome guest vocalists.
Hollie comes through with her 2nd studio album that was recorded (mostly live) under the guidance of Riki Gooch. It was a pretty smoothly produced album as there was just a consistency of agreement on ideas and even some tracks had one take in the final cuts. She's one of my favourite vocalists along with Ladi6 and Iva Lamkum, so it's always solid to hear new stuff from her! She's coming to Aucks in April, so I'ma go meet her and play 2pacs I Ain't Mad At'cha on keys.
Lewis McCallum comes fresh with his album full of life and hearty synth work. This album just makes you nod your head and you can't help but like this sound that he's put together! He's mos def on point with the selection of vocalists he's got on: Fran Kora, Mara TK, Tama Waipara, Deva Mahal & more, the fit nicely on his work. Catch him jammin tunes of his new album at Auckland Domain this Sun @ 5pm!
Nathan Haines has been around for a while and has been around the globe doing his thing in music (more than people actually know) He's self-produced a 7th album that is more expermental than his past. Going hard on the live recordings for this one he still shows that he's still got the groove! I've heard some of it live & it's that good feeling music. He's doing a Aucks show in March, so keep on the look out!
