Universal Announce Dei Hamo Release Date
Dei Hamo's debut single 'We Gon Ride' spent 3 months in the Top 10 on the New Zealand Top 50 Singles Chart (5 weeks at #1), and the video clip, shot by director Chris Graham, entered the music television charts at #1.
The self titled album consists of 16 songs, ranging from club anthems like 'Make It Hot,' to highly-personal exposes such as 'A True Story'.
A number of other New Zealand musicians appear on the album. Tim Finn re-recorded his wistful Split Enz classic 'I Hope I Never', his performance blending with Dei Hamo's rhymes in the newly titled 'Cry Again'. And stellar* lead singer Boh Runga co-wrote and appears on 'Home Invasion', a tale of music as a sanctuary in a troubled world. Beat-maker John Chong Nee provides a number of the grooves on the album, avoiding reliance on samples for hooks.
