Anika Moa has always prided herself on
doing what feels right for her at any particular time, whether it be making
award winning heart on the sleeve children’s albums or casting aside the
acoustic guitar to make electronic music for grownups, and today she is proud
to announce an album release show with a difference. Anika Moa and her
band will play her album release show at the Powerstation down on the floor
with her audience around her.
Anika says “I can't wait
to play this intimate show for you and I hope you all buy your tickets quickly
even if it means you miss out on your weekly smokes or wine. Neeks xx”
It’s going to be cosy, intimate and fun, we want to ensure everyone is
comfortable and has an enjoyable experience so tickets are limited.
Hot on the heels of the Tui
Award winning album Songs
For Bubbas (2014) featuring the APRA winning Children’s Song Of
The Year, Anika has turned her attention back to her never departing fan base
with her fifth solo studio album Queen
At The Table.
Queen At The Table was recorded at Auckland’s The Lab studio with Taite award nominee producer Jol Mulholland (The
Mots, Gasoline Cowboy, Fuce, Mullholland) taking on production duties, giving
the album a synthy, electronic touch and as always, Anika shines on Queen At The Table with her soaring vocals, tender voice and personal lyrics.
Moa released her fifth studio album Queen
At The Table on April 10th and has received rave reviews
throughout the media since:
“There’s pain here, but joy
too, and it’s all wrapped up in pop songs with just a bit of the R&B diva
running through them. Anika style” –Metro Magazine, 5 stars
“Queen At The table is a
mournful pop record, with a heavy influence of 90s R&B, Moas smooth yet
distinctive singing soaring over deep, subtly electronic production”. – North & South
“Her latest release is
pitched as a break-up album, yet Moa manages to make it an occasionally joyous
experience. That is due to a couple of factors: firstly, her effortless,
crystal-clear voice; secondly, an approach that mixes electro-pop, ethereal
electronica and soulful R 'n B.” – Otago Daily Times
“downbeat but no downer” – The Listener
“It’s joyous and honest,
just like Moa” - Christchurch Press, 5
