Ooooh, thank you! I love a male singer with a unique sound and thought-provoking perspective. Who ARE these people? I enjoyed this enough that it sent me to the search box, and found quite a variety of offerings - including sung in Maori! Yes, please! Bless up, everyone! Mahalo from Kauai. UPDATE: Though I'm a brand new fan of Stan Walker (due to you) I have a couple of recommendations in response to your request: I like, "The One You Want," as it's an interesting combination of musical and cultural perspectives in an easy dance groove, and I believe you would greatly appreciate, "Thank You," an original he wrote for his mother. That video contains many special clips including his mother getting a chin tattoo. I remember you mentioning how special your Mum is to you, and I believe you would relate on that level, as well as appreciate the music and visuals. Ooh! Adding, "Amazing Grace!" A different arrangement than any I've heard, and in the studio environment you liked, with The Levites. 💝💝💝

We have huge respect for Stan down here in New Zealand. All his music is awesome…play more please. U will enjoy listening to him singing his native language ( Maori). Also read about his struggles, he has had stomach cancer and now doesn’t have one. His voice is awesome,he is very much respected down here.

There is a video of him meeting Beyonce in New Zealand when he opened for her concert 😊 Stan was destined to be a singer/storyteller from day dot! From the moment he opened his mouth on Australian Idol, I remember just gasping like “what!” He sung John Legend’s song, Ordinary People on audition, we knew he was gonna win! No one compared! Thank you for your review! It’s really nice to see people around the world enjoy our Kiwi boi, Stan Walker. He IS someone special, very unique and more people need to know bc he simply blesses people with his voice! What a gift! 🫶🏽✨✨✨

We adore STAN WALKER- our family here in Canada and in New Zealand - we brag about him- he is my all-time favourite male artist. He won Australian Idol back in 2016. Also check out MARLEY SOLA Samoan New Zealander - on The Voice Australia singing RIBBON IN THE SKY. Brown boys have awesome tonality to their voices like the Hawaiian singers. So pleased you found STAN. Also check out TEEKS (NZ Maori singer and HOLLIE SMITH).

The Levites are the Band and the Backing Group is The Standard. This was a Kanye West cover. Take a listen to another cover by a fellow Kiwi icon, Neil Finns from Crowded House "Don't Dream It's Over" or one of his many originals "Inside Out" or maybe one sung in his native language Maori called "He Kakano Ahau".
