With the attention New Zealand musician Lorde is receiving from her bubbling single “Royals”, music is shining a spotlight on the region more than ever. Take a boat to the other side of the Tasman Sea to Australia and you’d be happy to find Melbourne’s newest talent – Hiatus Kaiyote. With a sound they’ve dubbed “Future Soul”; the group has been receiving nods from Erykah Badu and even tweets of support from Prince! The group is on tour and recently performed in NYC; Press Play and follow Miss Ashley Nichole as she gives you the skinny on Hiatus Kaiyote with a glimpse of opening act Emily King and music by Rich Medina.
