One
of Aotearoa’s foremost soul and R’n’B singers,
Aaradhna, is embarking
on a six-date tour, giving Kiwi fans one last chance to see her live before she
takes time out to write and record new music.
The Auckland singer and songwriter will perform at Cabana in Napier on September 28; Boiler Room in Whakatane on September 29; Totora Street in Mt Maunganui on October 5; Neck of the Woods in Auckland on October 11; Club Tavern in Christchurch on October 12 and San Fran in Wellington in October 13.
It’s Aaradhna’s most
extensive tour of New Zealand in recent years and is aptly titled the ‘Winter’s End Tour’,
marking the end of an era and the start of the next chapter in her
remarkable journey.
The award-winning Aaradhna is one of
the country’s most distinguished singer and songwriters. She’s been a familiar
face - and voice - in the local and international scene since featuring
on
Adeaze’s
chart-topping song
Getting
Stronger. She went on to carve out her own path, releasing
several critically acclaimed albums, including 2012’s
Trebel & Reverb,
which spawned the hits
Wake
Up and
Lorena
Bobbit.
She followed it with
2016’s
Brown Girl,
which earned her the award for ‘Best
Female Solo Artist’ at the NZ Music Awards and four awards at
the 2017 Pacific
Music Awards, including the ‘Best Pacific Female Artist Award’ and ‘Best Pacific Music Album’.
The record was praised in
publications and blogs around the world, including The Guardian, which
said: “
Brown Girl resonates with Aaradhna’s deep-felt pride in her heritage and
roots, a pride that is tempered with an almost solemn joy. Sometimes the music
can unsettle – witness the tribal percussion on the too brief Welcome to the Jungle – but mostly it
reassures, in that charming, effortless rocksteady way she used to such effect
on the P-Money produced 2012 album Treble
& Reverb”. For Aaradhna, the ‘Winter’s End’ tour is
symbolic of one door closing, and another opening. It also gives the Kiwi
singer the chance to celebrate the successes of the last few years with those
who’ve helped her along the way - her loyal and devoted fans!
Joining Aaradhna on all six
dates is special guest, stunning soul singer, Emily Muli.
