Luv u Sum 2,329 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 i love this so much !!!! really hoping she doesn’t get hate for this. i’m an interview attached to her most recent news letter it talks about all the people who she worked with and educated her on the culture and language of native new zealanders not to mention 100% of net sales are being donated to NZ charity site wide not just for the vinyl which is amazing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsemanche 92,814 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Solar Power (the track) strangely sounds better here??? Something about the flow of the words works a lot with the melody and rhythm. Also I love how some cultural references have been shifted to relate to Māori culture, like replacing prettier Jesus with Hinemoana.

hELXIG 42,652 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 OMG QUEEN! This is really amazing because the Maori language is not very commonly spoken here and it means a lot for someone with reach like her to bring light to the language They taught us some Te Reo Maori in school, and our national anthem is sung in both English and Maori, but I've forgotten pretty much all of it It's been a struggle to top the language from dying in the past but I think people are really making an effort to keep it alive which is so cool to see I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Eido 3,660 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I love how they changed Hua Pirau / Fallen Fruit which became much more accoustic and even accapella at the beginning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
