Ke'alaokamaile

Pronounced Kay-a-LEE-ee Rye-SHELL. I thought the music in Hawaiian much better than the music in English (save yourself the pain of listening to track 4 – a Sting cover). It’s not bad, it’s just not great and definitely not for purists. It’s a bit slick and the English tracks are really not worth it.

1. Cheesy spoken word intro. Flute, female chant of genealogy.
*2. Very cool chant/drum blend. Great sound, wonderfully done.
3. Sweet, delicate song of home. Rather pretty, really.
4. Fields of Gold. Slow & basically soulless.
*5. Guitar/vocals in a sweet, lively Hawaiian classic.
6. Slow, sad and kinda smarmy.
7. Slow & folksy blend of vocals/guitar.
*8. Uptempo w/some good guitar work.
9. A slow love song.
10. Another slow track/ with a sense of sadness.
11. Midtempo,. Guitar/chorus, lyrical.
12. Slow folk rock w/a big chorus finish. Um, no.
*13. Drum & chanting. Why isn’t there more of this?
14. Overdone remix of #3. The original is better.
15. Slow song of goodbye.
