Hailing from the town of Makawao on the island of Maui, Hawai'i, singer songwriter Anuhea (say: a-NEW-heya) is sure to be the next big thing. It's about time Jack Johnson got a groovy female counterpart to jam with on the sand!
Anuhea's self-titled debut album is perfectly timed for summer with upbeat beach or campfire tunes great for singing along or just soaking up the melodies alone. Her style is definitely has the influence of fellow islander Johnson, with some funky flavor of artists like Jason Mraz mixed with some reggae and a dash of Joss Stone.
With so much soul and life in every song, it's difficult to choose just one but "Right Love, Wrong Time," "Slow Down," and "I Just Want You Around" are good starters. Anyone who has ever spent time behind the counter serving coffee will enjoy "Barista By Day."
At only 24 years of age, Anuhea is a welcome and freshly different voice to the often bland an unexciting world of "new pop singers." She is destined for big things; pick up this album and be able to say you knew about her when no one else did. (On sale huge for $5.99 on iTunes right now!)
