Diffrent Kind of Girl feat. Augn Zin
Waikato born frontman Rich Beckmannflay spent some time in Myanmar and met rapper Aung Zin while in Yangon. “Different Kind of Girl'' was inspired from looking at various systems of government and monarchy following the military junta coup detaining Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi in February this year. The song is intended as a gift to the people of Myanmar to let them know their struggle for democracy is not unnoticed despite everything going on in the world stage with covid.
“Different Kind of Girl'' was written during lockdown in 2021, and without any option for live band rehearsal and Aung Zin being locked down in Singapore, the song took a natural journey into a dubish electronica zone. Recorded and produced in home studios, mastering was completed at Munki Studios by Mike Gibson.

Running Free
Inspiration for “Running Free” is a personal observation of the resurgence of Te Reo. Street Georges frontman Rich says it's hard to describe how a song can be sung from the point of view of the living entity of our Mori language, it's a heart thing that has flowed into music somehow.
