Kiwi finesses their melodic approach and strips down their sound to its rawest, most rhythmic elements on the new album. Rooted in reggae rhythms and tropicália-inspired melodies, Jersey City-based Kiwi dynamically blends jazz and soulful grooves into a uniquely uplifting sound.
A Room With A View combines syncopated roots rhythms with outside influences that span decades and circle the globe. Founding member/vocalist Vera Sousa returns to add harmonies to lush tropicalia-influenced tracks like “Trees” and “February,” and the new lead singer of The Wailers Josh David Barrett guests on the muscular roots track “As I Am.” On party-starters like “New Year Steady,” vocalist/guitarist Alex Tea, drummer Ramsey Norman and bassist Steve Capecci are also joined by musicians and friends from their travels as well as homestate.
