Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland band Corrella return with their new album, Skeletons. The 11-track collection combines the sounds of South Pacific-inspired roots/reggae, with touches of soul, funk, gospel, pop, and even a bit of country. Overall, it's an album that sounds like two things - summer and Corrella.
Ahead of the album the band have released a new single "All There Is", which represents one of quieter moments on the album. Featuting frotman Pipi on lead vocals, the ballad that is co-produced by Kings.
Described as “a full representation of Corrella”, Skeletons is a collection of tracks that have come together over the past year. The album takes a journey through sounds across each track, punctuated by the three-headed lead vocal attack of siblings Pipiwharauroa and Ngawaiwera Campbell, and rhythm guitarist Te Naawe Tupe. A constant throughout the album is their soulful harmonies creating the summery sound Corrella are fast becoming known for.
Skeletons presents a band growing in confidence and strength in their songwriting abilities, but still pushing their sound forward. It is an album which has plenty in there for existing fans, while opening the door for newcomers. It’s an album which brings together many influences, ideas and sounds, but maintains the Corrella sound as a constant throughout.
