Made up of professional singers, musicians, photographers, designers and sound technicians from various cultures and gender identities, The Human Kind combines live music, songs and images in audio-visual events that express the spectrum of human emotions.
The Human Kind’s striking debut single, Ready To Live, is a cinematic trip-hop track with smouldering vocals and haunting harmonies. The song’s message is so apt in our current times and lockdown, highlighting the importance of looking after our mental health during COVD and being “ready to live”.
"Ready To Live is about connecting to our life force and making the most of every day that we're alive on this planet,” says The Human Kind’s spokesperson, Chrissy Diamond.
Written and produced by Frank Marinthe (French music producer and sound designer) and Chrissy Diamond, with co-writers Debbie Toko-Stevens, Jason Slade; and Mitch French, it was recorded at Melodic Juice Studios in Auckland.
The Human Kind collective largely have gained strength through their own mental health challenges and are now turning pain into purpose through the creative vision of The Human Kind.
“The Human Kind, believe in the holistic principles of Kotahitanga and Whanaungatanga, the interconnectedness of all things without discrimination,” says Diamond.
“Encompassing these principles, our vision combines music and images in events that bring people together, connect with their emotions in an immersive, interactive, four-dimensional way through sight, sound, space and time. The music and images showcased in our events also aim to promote the four aspects of wellbeing expressed in Hauora; physical, mental/emotional, social and spiritual.”
The Human Kind had planned a series of live events in Auckland to support the new music and, most importantly, to support Mental Health Awareness Week. Due to the current lockdown restrictions in Auckland and uncertainty around alert levels for the coming months, there will be more news to follow on whether the scheduled shows will proceed.
