Turn up the heat with “Romeo” by Isaiah Tavares and Dillon Pakele. The Hawaiian artists teamed up in this clever new tune about a Hawaiian shirt that doesn’t stay on mid party! Let’s just say a connection is made and sparks are in the air. And this song is so catchy!

Fall in love with Canaan Ene’s “Handyman.” ft. Sione Toki. I always appreciate the top tier production that Canaan Ene brings to his tracks, and Sione Toki lays down beautiful vocals in this jamming new love song.

It seems shortly before The Elovaters embark on the tour for New Zealand and Australia they have teamed with progressive New Zealand band Corrella. The song is smooth, cool, and with a hint of R&B vibes.

This song is about humans making a commitment to each other to choose life, communication, love and understanding, over all. A commitment to treating others how you would like to be treated. To have the empathy to look through another's eyes, and come to peaceful resolutions.... Imagine a future where we commit to avoid violence and war, at any cost? If I had one wish, it would be for us all to get along. No matter our indifference!

Put it all on the line for love with Sons Of Zion and Corrella’s “We Ain’t Coming Home”. This is such a heartfelt new song that brings all the feelings around sacrificing for love. I love the smooth reggae rididm, and impressive vocals that highlight a beautiful melody. This will no doubt be a track that will have you humming along in no time!

Catch Katchafire and Jordan T during their West Coast tour this July. The run of shows kicks off in San Luis Obispo, California on July 10 and runs through July 21 wrapping in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Celebrate your one in a million with “See You Like I Do” by Sons of Zion. The New Zealand reggae band has released one of my favorite new songs of the year showcasing its super smooth sound over a grooving acoustic guitar.

Already dripping in platinum and gold releases, L.A.B. rolls out another collection of tracks that has already touched millions of music lovers around the world. With a rather simple album naming system and this being their sixth studio album, L.A.B. VI is live and ready for your listening pleasure!

If you are unfamiliar with New Zealand’s SUB-TRIBE, its time to get acquainted. The innovative reggae group recently released their latest EP, Midnite Sun, and its proving to be some of their best work yet. While roots-driven, the band pushes boundaries and explores genres throughout the 4 song EP, as best heard on the third track “Slow Down.

2024 is going to be another breakout year for New Zealand’s L.A.B. The band recently teamed with Easy Star Records to drop the dub filled single, “Oh No (Pt. 2)” and it’s so irie! I love the track’s funky bass line and its all around groove!

New Zealand’s Canaan Ene teams with Hawai'i legend Kapena in a fresh take on “Down Under”. This is such an iconic song by Men At Work, and I’m really enjoying this new reggae style update to the jam.

The smooth sound of New Zealand’s own, Katchafire, along with Hawaii-based artist, FIA, made a stop in Deep Ellum, TX on a beautiful Thursday evening during the last leg of their USA Tour 2023. Being a school night had no impact on the attendance of the soul-filled evening of roots magic.

New Zealand’s Canaan Ene brings to life an amazing reggae version of Bruno Mars’ “Talking to the Moon”.

A trip to Cali Roots is the perfect gift for any reggae lover! This year’s lineup looks so irie, and has some new artists debuting at the festival that are must-see! Here is a list of five artists that you’ll love seeing for the first time at the festival.

Since their formation in the late 90's, New Zealand's The Black Seeds have been key ambassadors for the reggae sounds of the South Pacific. Every one of their six albums have impacted audience's worldwide with a quality sound that is not afraid to blend a wide variety of genres with their reggae foundation. On their seventh full length release "Love & Fire", the band has truly outdone themselves. Sometimes musicians, especially those with long and successful careers, use more or less a formula to make new music. "Love & Fire" however lives, breathes, and bleeds creativity throughout every song on the album, making it a very pleasant, fun, and interesting run of music that we absolutely love. 

Leading up to their new album Love & Fire, The Black Seeds have released the funky new jam, It’s So Real. It’s So Real will have you moving your feet to a grooving bass line. The song released by Easy Star Records offers a taste of what is going to be an incredible new album!

The Black Seeds recently released their second single supporting the New Zealand band’s upcoming seventh studio album via Easy Star Records. The song is called Let the Sunshine Through and we love the song’s unique reggae groove and positive message. The Black Seeds’ lead singer and songwriter, Barnaby Weir described the single as a “bittersweet love song” but it’s definitely bringing us inner peace as we listen.

We first started grooving to Awa’s music when we heard his song, Perfect Day with Anuhea. It’s a classic! The New Zealand-based singer has released a new song called Would You Be that has us dancing on our feet as we’re starting this new week!
