L.O.V.E. is a bouncy pop hit, dripping with collaboration. The track features a verse from the rising star Idol Essence who has garnered co-signing from the likes of Tom Scott, Melodownz, Dusty & Ghos, and just about everyone who’s anyone in the NZ hip hop scene.
The original demo was recorded as a part of The Karanga's Navigators program, and is a testament to the inclusive, multicultural community building environment that the program fosters among Rangatahi, bringing together Tongan, Māori, Canadian, and South African voices on to one light hearted track. In a time where division is an easy road to take, this track reminds us of the importance of connection.
After the smash success of their debut single Growing Pains, which elevated the artists to over 1000 monthly listeners on Spotify, the dynamic duo TAMiii & day13n have been hard at work. The pair’s sophomore single L.O.V.E. is the culmination of this work, and the beginning of a robust rollout schedule leading to the release of their album.
What was initially planned to be a 3 track EP has been extended into a full length album, slated for release in mid 2025.
The track, L.O.V.E. is set to be released October 11th, and is just what our NZ music scene needs to pull us out of a long, cold winter. The sonics bring to mind beach days and warm nights, sunsets, and spring flowers, as newcomer Ty delivers catchy, silky smooth vocals on the hook.
While this track might be seen as a departure from the content that fans of day13n’s music are used to, it’s a gentle reminder to care for yourself, and fill your cup, so we can together, more effectively build a brighter future for our community. .
