Anna Coddington - Te Whakamiha (Vinyl)
Anna Coddington presents the new album, Te Whakamiha, a bilingual body of work in te reo Māori & English, which Coddington has herself described loosely as “Māori funk".
Across eight tracks, the album encompasses Prince-inspired funk, neo-soul, R&B & disco vibes, presenting te reo Māori in a unique style & sound. Playful throughout with memorable hooks and singalong choruses in both te reo and English, Te Whakamiha is a release with its own vibe and style, yet distinctly belongs to Coddington.
The album’s title Te Whakamiha comes from a rough translation of the name of Coddington’s longtime band - The Appreciations. The name also shows an expression of gratitude to Coddington’s dual journeys in music and in te reo Māori.
