Music News - Warren Maxwell taps deep emotions for an uplifting new Aotearoa anthem
11 December 2015 - 0 Comments
Moments is an exquisitely sparse and soulful track highlighting Warren Maxwell’s
distinctive timbre. Framed by lush instrumentation and gospel harmonies
Moments is
Aotearoa in its essence.
Maxwell was initially commissioned by Genesis
Energy to write and perform a song for the
shinealight.kiwi project.
The track received a great deal of interest with people asking where they could
get it - both online and through Genesis Energy call centres hence, it was
decided the song should be released officially.
Warren Maxwell says, “The song came relatively quickly once I’d met the producers
& the client. Their objective was community focused and from a genuine
philanthropic perspective, which I love! I hear the song and lyrics as a poetic
conduit for ideologies around community support.”
Moments is released through Aeroplane
Music Records with all profits going to the
Foundation for Youth & Development. Moments is now available for purchase from
iTunes, available for streaming on
Spotify and if you would like to donate
more, head to
Bandcamp.
