The album "South: A New Zealand Music Compilation" by Various is a captivating collection of 20 tracks that showcase the diverse and vibrant music scene of New Zealand's southern region. Featuring an eclectic mix of genres, from indie rock and folk to electronic and hip-hop, this album offers something for everyone.
The opening track, "Rabbit Hole" by Nadia Reid, sets the tone with its haunting vocals and introspective lyrics. Other standout tracks include "Don't Worry 'Bout It" by The Beths, a catchy indie-pop anthem, and "Falling" by Marlon Williams, a soulful ballad that showcases his powerful vocals.
The album also features lesser-known artists like Tami Neilson, who delivers a stunning performance on the bluesy "Holy Moses," and Soaked Oats, whose laid-back indie rock sound shines on "Shuggah Doom."
