Corrella - Single Review: Little Circles
Corrella are a 7-piece roots reggae band, formed in 2017 and hailing from Auckland’s North Shore, and named after Corrella Road in Belmont.
Having released their debut single, Summertime in Aotearoa back in 2020, their debut EP soon followed in 2021, with three of those tracks making in onto the NZ Music Charts - an impressive feat for any rising band.
Recorded at Parachute studios in Auckland, Little Circles is their new single and according to Corrella, "a love song sure to give you butterflies". Songwriter and rhythm guitarist Te Naawe Tupe sums it up as “Everyone can relate to a moment or think of a person when they hear this track.”
Little Circles encompasses that well and it also feels like a quintessential Kiwi summer vibe. It has melody, great rhythm and does capture that ‘butterfly’ feeling lyrically.
Like all roots reggae music, there is a lot to like here, and it also shows off the great musicianship between them all. Rebekah Brady (Te Arawa, Nga Puhi) - lead vocalist has a beautiful range and I feel this is just a glimpse of her talents.
Although 7 members seems a lot in a band - for Corrella it is perfect. There is nothing busy about Little Circles. It has flow and depth, which is something that can get muddled easily when too much instrumentation is involved.
Little Circles is a beautiful little number that I know many more will enjoy. I feel from here on out the best way to enjoy Corrella is to see them live
About Corrella
Named for the naval-base where the band met, Corrella’s first release, their self-titled EP was released in 2021, announcing their arrival on the reggae-music scene. They wasted no time following up with a series on singles through 2022, including the track Raumati, which was featured as part of the Waiata Anthems 2022 series.
Skankin', the first single from their album, announced their arrival to the wider music scene, making an impact on New Zealand radio. May saw the release of their debut full-length album, Road From 26. The album is a powerful, modern & outright vibe which takes the listener on a journey from Corrella’s past to present. With their signature feel-good roots-reggae, the album sees them incorporating funk, soul & pop-rock sounds throughout.

PARK RD - Album Review The Novel
23 May 2024 // by Kerry MB
It’s easy to see why Auckland five-piece, PARK RD is making some noise, figuratively and literally with their debut album, The Novel. Heavy on the indie, but far from light with solid guitar riffs and pop and funk sensibilities, PARK RD are a great example of solid musicianship.

Bad Schematics - Album Review: C O L L I D E
01 May 2024 // by Kerry MB
Manawatu might seem one of the unlikeliest places to find some damn good alt-rock pop punk, even more so when you add elements of metal, but stranger things have happened and I’m here to tell you it’s true, and their name is Bad Schematics. Not a name that may be familiar (yet), but they are a pretty determined bunch, having released their debut EP, Keep Your Gods in a flurry of a few short weeks, in 2023.

Gig Review: Stretch To Mould @ The Welsh Dragon, Wellington - 30/03/2024
31 Mar 2024 // by Kerry MB
The building once described as Wellington’s ‘fondest inconvenient convenience in the land’ by one commentator, The Welsh Dragon Bar (and Scorpio’s Restaurant) has been known as a few different things throughout it’s nearly 100-year history. From the original public convenience for Wellingtonians and its tramways employees and passengers when it was first built in 1928, to a theatre prop space, tea house and café, and for many years now, a unique but tiny Taj Mahal looking music venue, in the middle of the road on Cambridge Terrace.
