Formed back in 2011 in the New Zealand School of Music and initially performing as Tunes Of I, this Wellington based creates soulful R&B with a funky twist. Having gained a name for their tight, dynamic live performances, they’ve played killer sets at various festivals and shared the stage with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ocean Alley and Tash Sultana. They released their debut EP “T.O.I” in 2013.
Starting with a seductive, buttery-smooth soul intro, their feel-good new single encourages to never lose hope in yourself. With a gripping bass, laid-back keys and mellow beat laying the cheery, soulful foundation, the bridge adds a darker sonic layer. And with neon shimmering, 80s pop-infused vocals relaying their hope-filled, inspirational message, this lustrous tune is a delicious smooth groove.
