Trinity Album Review

In 1993 Emma Paki was the new fresh face of New Zealand music. ‘Trinity’ comes to us with the same raw, troubled soul that so beautifully put together ‘Oxygen of Love’.

This album includes three songs that are played acoustically, then presented as studio mixes and finally as remixes.

The first song ‘Century Sky’ is an invitation into the heart of Paki, and her voice transports you to a place where anything is possible. The way it would be for lyrics to describe a playful summer splash or an intimate moment with someone special.

‘Stand Alone’ tears at the heart-strings for a love that has been lost and the pain that doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. It seems like this is the theme to Emma Paki’s life. The personal struggle has delved into a soul, but the most beautiful music is the product.

‘Solid Love’ when mixed seems sad and dark, you can’t help but wonder where it will take you. The whole album has hopeful moments that just make you hope that this is a new beginning. Dam Native feature very highly in this album contributing the refined New Zealand style that they are so famous for.
