South Auckland's Soul Brown returns with ‘I Met A Girl’ - a song about love, hope, and a poignant reminder that sometimes the dreams we leave behind, are simply waiting for us to become ready to finish the story.

Had a koorero with Rolling Stone AU/NZ

"I am Maaori. I am wahine Maaori. I am a wahine-moe-wahine Maaori. Therefore everything I write is through these lenses. I just write from my experiences, from my anger towards injustice, and from my pride of my whakapapa and tuupuna waahine."

Theia is one of our most-covered Aotearoa artists — and for good reason.

It's no easy feat, but MEL PARSONS' album CASTLE HILL has just debuted at #1 in both the Top 40 Albums Chart and the Top 20 Aotearoa Albums Chart. How 'bout that!!! It's worth adding that CASTLE HILL knocked Ariana Grande off the no. 1 spot (Top 40), while Six60 is the only other NZ act to score a double whammy in the charts in 2026

Mel Parsons has landed her first-ever Top 40 No. 1 album in Aotearoa new Zealand.

Muzic.NZ: "What makes Brain Storm so compelling is its refusal to romanticise trauma. offers no tidy resolution. Instead, she captures slow healing, grief, uncertainty and the question of whether “getting better” ever means becoming who you were before. Yet the album never feels bleak; beneath the pain, there is quiet determination and empathy."

The serious subject behind Christchurch (Ōtautahi) singer-songwriter Bryony Matthews’ new album Brain Storm sent me down a research rabbit hole.
