FreeDay - Welcome to the FreeDay Album Review
This week I have had the pleasure of reviewing FreeDay’s debut, ‘Welcome to the FreeDay.’ FreeDay is the brainchild of the talented husband and wife team Glen and Alex Donaghy and their backing band. Bright and refreshing in these dark times, this record ticks all the boxes. Within these twelve songs you will find bright atmospheres, heart-felt lyrics, catchy choruses and layers of emotion.
With a euphoric, hand-in-the-air moment in every track this is the perfect record for anyone with a fond appreciation for uplifting, optimistic pop music and Jesus. For those judgemental few who avoid the contemporary Christian music scene, I urge you not to let religious intolerance hinder your experience; religious overtones aside, this is a commercially viable, easy-listening, pop album, perfect for radio play.
The DVD features a music video to the opening track ‘Meant to Be,’ from legendary Music Video director and producer Ivan Slavov, whose portfolio includes New Zealand celebrities like Opshop, Dane Rumble, PNC and J. Williams. Set on a pier and the surrounding beaches of an idyllic bay the video reflects the feelings of togetherness in the songs lyrics thru the image of Glen forming the chords for Alex as she plays guitar.

About FreeDay
When Auckland based band 'FreeDay' sing about wearing the scars of life on their new self titled album, they mean it literally.
By a twist of destiny lead singer/composer, Glen Donaghy, and his wife Alex were wounded with identical scars on their hands before they even met.

AJA - Album Review: Kawai

Bilingual albums shouldn’t be special; they should be the norm. Or at least more common.

Ra Charmian - Album Review: Waiata Wairua
08 Oct 2024 // by Peter-James Dries
Waiata Wairua is an album that wouldn’t feel out of place performed in a late night jazz hall in some alternate history where the successes of the Maori battalion lead to a proliferation of Te Reo worldwide. The sort of interest that saw your dad singing in French in the 60's, when Mireille Mathieu was knocking about.

Electronica offers no escapism for me. It’s more of what I already have.

Throng - EP Review: Decoherence
20 Oct 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
You know that thing where the letter B has a personality, or words have textures and colours? That’s called synaesthesia.

Have you ever been torn between listening to Mozart or Periphery? Does Epica have too much of that darn singing for your tastes?

Yurt Party - Album Review: Yurt Party
07 Sep 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
It sure isn't summer, and this is really not the Balkans, but Yurt Party’s new self-titled album refutes that. Back with another one of them Balkan rocking beats, Yurt Party’s debut is jazzy, erratic, and full of zest and energetic grooves, with flavour notes of ska, dub, and bergamot.
