Two sons of South Auckland, connected to the islands, whose talent somehow cut through imposing barriers to connect with R&B singers at the absolute apex of their powers. Two collaborations, more than a decade apart, each of which still seems impossible even now. Thankfully I am ‘Getting Stronger’ and can now just enjoy this heavenly tuneage with my trap firmly shut!!! / Alex Casey ‘Moonshine’ – Savage + Akon / ‘Savage Love’ – Jawsh 685 + Jason Derulo Is there any other combination of voices in New Zealand music history that can make you feel quite as bad about your own voice than Adeaze and Aaradhna? Horribly strong memories of trying to record myself singing on a tape deck to this song when it featured on Now That’s What I Call Music 16. Charlotte Muru-Lanning ‘Getting Stronger’ – Adeaze featuring Aaradhna It’s all pure chaos and totally delightful. Swanndri-clad Nathan Rarere and Oscar Kightley join them to cook eels next to a waterfall. One minute King Kapisi is in a sheep yard, the next, Che Fu reclines in a pile of wool. The accompanying music video needs to be mentioned too – a browned-up vision of rural farm life in Aotearoa.

Released in 2003, off the back of two pivotal album releases (King Kapisi’s Savage Thoughts in 2000 and Che Fu’s Navigator in 2001), this collab maintains the pair’s knack for using music as an art form and political tool, and also as a vessel for being extremely crack up.

To get multiple colors on the flower, I first stamped in Curry and used a sponge dauber to tap around the inked rubber using Dusty Durango. The stamp is "True Friends", and oldie but a goodie! The Soft Suede paper in the rear of the card is a Top Note die cut so just the edges show. Just goes to show you how versatile the paper is -) Here's another project using the Merry Moments designer paper. The rest are just some fun embellishments. The snowflakes were simply cut from the opposite side of the Merry Moments designer paper I used for decorating the top.
