From soulful vocals to post punk dreams: New Zealand musicians to celebrate this month

Hawaiian-born New Zealander Deva Mahal is certainly one to watch. Discovering her path as a black woman and navigating her power in music is front and centre with her new record. Sonically it’s a seamless combination of soulful vocals, reverent hand clapping, twinkling piano and clean congas. The result is her most immaculate release to date, aptly titled - FUTURE CLASSIC: VOL 1.
