In the first three weeks of release (and in some cases, before) Ngaiire’s Lamentations has been announced as feature album on Sydney’s Eastside Radio and 2SER FM, South Australia’s Radio Adelaide, Melbourne’s 3RRR, PBS and SYN, DIG Australia, 2 BOB Radio and Radio Goolgarri, as well as landing feature album prominence on AIR, and garnering on-air support from Triple J.
Now, the Sydney via Papua New Guinea artist wants fans to get ready for the Ngaiire Australian Tour 2013, expanding on her previous two single tours; riding a wave of support for her brilliant debut album.
The highly anticipated July 12 release of Ngaiire’s debut album Lamentations follows two wildly successful lead singles – ‘Dirty Hercules’ and ‘Around’ – and the astounding live shows which accompanied each single tour.
An incredibly compelling live artist, Ngaiire incorporates stunning costuming and evocative delivery to her band’s live sound presenting a show unlike any other Australian artist, with a soulfully powerful vocal to rival any of them which audiences can view live at the Ngaiire Australian Tour 2013.
Show’s aside, and while praise was glowing for both ‘Dirty Hercules’ and ‘Around’ in their recorded formats, to hear the tracks assume their rightful place within the divine suite of compositions on Lamentations is to appreciate a stunningly-realised work.
Despite having already exhibited an incredible level of determination and resilience – between the car accident which left her with spinal fractures a day before recording to the death of a close relative upon the album’s completion – it is Ngaiire’s inimitable style, natural creativity and divine song craft that comes through on Lamentations.
Triple J’s 2010 Next Crop list, which featured Kimbra, Lanie Lane and The Jezabels, gave the country a heads up on Ngaiire’s talent. Mentor and electronic maestro Paul Mac and gypsy jazz outfit Monsieur Camembert have already presented her to their audiences. Now Ngaiire, with her own sound, has been amassing an audience of her own, and from early notices, they love what they are hearing.
