Description: Sydney singer Ngaiire is a powerhouse. I remember the first time I heard her voice, I was a goner. The way her voice curled around every lyric was one thing, but her songwriting craft showed a promise that would pay off in the EP’s and albums that would follow. Music has always been a big part of Ngaiire’s life. As a child of the 90’s, she grew up listening to pop songs in Papua New Guinea and New Zealand, then Australia. She would find a connection particularly to Janet Jackson and Talib Kweli; a brown woman in song in an overwhelmingly white Australia. This is a conversation about how we find our place, and connection, no matter where we are. Janet Jackson - ‘Together Again’ Sisqó - ‘Thong Song’ Talib Kweli - ‘Black Girl Pain’ Frank Ocean - ‘Pink + White’ Spice Girls - ‘2 Become 1’
