SHAYNA - Single & Video Review: Miles Away

29 Apr 2018 // A review by floorcat
As the music video for Miles Away started to play, the first word that came to mind was wow! Produced and directed by the incredible Shae Sterling, the quality of this video is amazing, complete with Northland scenery and the beautiful photogenic Shayna in several styles. Each style gives the audience a different version of Shayna - wild, pretty, adventurous and free.

I've enjoyed Shayna's acoustic performances in the past but Miles Away is definitely something else - an uplifting song with strong melodies. I believe Miles Away is worthy of a high placing in the Top 40 Charts.

This song was inspired by an overseas experience which involved the good, the bad and the ugly. Shayna's vocals are gentle yet powerful, while displaying an abundance of potential. I'm very excited to see what her next move is within the music scene.

About SHAYNA

“She already projects the image of a star at the top of the game – if she continues as is, that’s exactly where she’ll end up.” - Happy Mag (AU)

“The next best pop party to come out of New Zealand” – Music Nation (NZ)

A “melancholic view of an OE” has inspired New Zealand singer-songwriter SHAYNA’s new single Miles Away. “Travelling the globe with a sole companion and seeing the best and worst in each others characters as you are both exhausted, low on money and feeling like outsiders who don’t fit into the fast-paced rhythm of a foreign city.”

Ivy Red - Single Review: Absent
05 Jun 2018 // by floorcat
Absent opens the darkest parts of IVY RED's mind, and definitely meets the intent of what he is attempting to portray with his music - emotional, deep and raw. There is no sugar coating in his music or the lyrics, making this a poignant track, which is definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Vince Harder - Single Review: Sugar Coated
28 May 2018 // by floorcat
Vince Harder's new single Sugar Coated is a catchy and relaxing tune throughout. The lyrics indirectly pointing towards the social media which creates fake images and sugar coats what's underneath the surface.

Theia - Single Review: Bye Bye
09 Apr 2018 // by floorcat
Christchurch born artist, Theia's single Bye Bye is a song of attitude. Starting with gentle techno notes playing subtly in the background to emphasis the emotion, which was also sung through the lyrics "I don't need your fake ass hanging round me so bye bye".
