The vinyl release features L.A.B.'s smash hit ‘In The Air’ which appears on L.A.B’s album 'L.A.B. III' and showcases the softer, more melodic side of the album, with vocalist Joel Shadbolt combining smooth guitars and keys alongside guest vocalist Lisa Tomlins. The track, originally released in early 2020, was the most played song on ALL New Zealand radio in 2020 and was the first independent local release to reach number one on the main chart since Flight Of The Conchords' 'Feel Inside (And Stuff Like That)' in 2012, and the first overall since Lorde's 'Green Light' in 2017. The song spent three weeks at Number 1 on the NZ Official Top 40 Singles Chart and has reached three-times Platinum status, while garnering over 22 million streams on Spotify & over 2 million streams on Apple Music.
Ria Hall's contribution "Owner" first appeared on her 2020 album, 'Manawa Wera.' Inspired by classic reggae & soul records of the 1970’s such as Third World & Jimmy Cliff, Manawa Wera presents a classic reggae sound in a modern New Zealand context. The album is influenced not only by the personal journey Hall has been on since the release of 2017’s 'Rules of Engagement', but also the current political climate across the globe. Moving effortlessly across soul, reggae & funk sounds, Manawa Wera puts the stunning voice and award-winning lyrics of Hall front and centre at all times.
