Tali - Lyric On My Lip Album Review
14 Aug 2004 // A review by Shade
MC Tali is an extremly talented and amazing individual who not only has the ability to use her versatile voice in a variety of styles, but she also creates her own catchy, up beat and funky music. She accomplishes so much more than the average vocalist - the music is all hers, as are the lyrics.
From the first track Blazin to the last track High Hopes you can hear the evidence of Roni Size's influence. It is also highly evident that MC Tali has been writing and recording her own music since she was 10. The music is well planned, expressive and is different to anything else that has ever come out of NZ.
This album is so good, I even think that Airport Lounge and Pressure Release could be worthy of being on a Gatecrasher compilation. If you love any style of the dance genre (there's even a few hard hitting tracks that could be considered drum n bass) this album is for you!
However, this album would also appeal to those that love pop music, r&b and even rap.

Maggie Cocco's Science for Sociopaths - Gig Review: Maggie Cocco @ Lopdell Theatre, Tititrangi - 22/11/2023
27 Nov 2023 // by Shade
Whatever came out of the pandemic, it stranded some amazing talent here long enough for them to enrich our musical world. Down into the Lopdell labyrinth, a buzz of age-spanning expectancy waited for two of these: Maggie Cocco and her accompanist for the tour Bonnie Schwarz who would add much more than just ‘sad cello’ to tonight’s epic cycle of piano songs.

Eve Kelly @ Jam Factory, Tauranga - 03/03/2023

The ‘Sold Out’ sign is a good sign and it went up several days before Eve Kelly’s first show at The Jam Factory in Tauranga’s Historic Village. Whakatane-based Eve Kelly is a star on-the-rise and she put on a show that left her audience, old and new, elated and begging for more.

Coridian - Single Review: Seed II
21 Oct 2020 // by Shade
There's an implicit line in Rock music between the head-banging craze that makes you want to raid the mosh pit, and the refined preciseness of a subtle yet powerful tune. Very few bands can master both.
