Ngaiire – 3

In her third album, Ngaiire fuses electro-pop and soul with traditions, deep-seated in her Papua New Guinean heritage. An incredibly personal body of work, 3 translates childhood memories, generational trauma, and new found motherhood into a musically vivid and raw LP. Ngaiire touches on dating experiences in a heavily Christian, postcolonial Papua New Guinea, and the romantic tensions that follow suit.
