One of New Zealand's brightest young stars, Anika Moa, has received a glowing feature review in the latest Billboard magazine, in the US. Compared in favourable terms to Alicia Keys, who swept the boards and this year's American Music Awards and yesterday's Grammys, Moa is described as a 'compelling and bold new presence.'
According to their reviewer:
"If you prefer your music with guitars and melodies steeped somewhere between folk, pop and rock, newcomer Anika Moa is your girl. The 21-year-old's debut 'Youthful' is utterly irresistible, a wise and graceful effort that spits in the face of its deceiving title. With her haunting, world-weary voice and her knack for keen melodies and thoughtful lyrics, Moa conjures part Sarah McLachlan, part class brain. For sure, don't count on her sharing a milkshake with Britney Spears.. This is the goods."
