Maisey Rika's 3rd studio album "Whitiora", is a full length Te reo (Maori) album with 11 tracks. Maisey worked with a wide range of Maori songwriters to collaborate and create some angelic, original pieces.
Whitiora includes "Tangaroa Whakamautai", the first single of the album, which takes you on a journey through the ocean and Maori legend. Other tracks include "Ruaimoko" featuring Anika Moa, which is a haunting reference to the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, mixed delicately with a string quartet.
Michael Barker (John Butler Trio) provides a wide variety of creative percussion on the majority of the album, also Joel Haines returns with his high quality guitar work. Together with Maisey's outstanding voice, demeanor and timing, Whitiora is a treat for your ears.
