“Carolina” is the first taster of new material from KORA. The first since their genre bending 2012 album LIGHT YEARS. Of the new single, Francis Korasays: “Carolina is a metaphor for something/someone that is undeniably addictive. What that something or who that someone is, we have left open to suggestion.”

SEE KORA LIVE OVER SUMMER

As one of New Zealand’s best-known live bands, Kora are confident both on stage and in the recording studio, and with good reason – they have (so far) claimed a platinum EP, a double platinum debut album, and two of their albums peaking at #1 on the the New Zealand Top 40 album chart. Their sound straddles multiple genres, from reggae to metal, soul, and funk; but at their core, Kora’s unique and electric sound fits no pigeonhole.

The story of KORA began in Whakatane and Queenstown as the band took New Zealand by storm in the new millenium with their first EP, Volume in 2002. It was produced and released independently by the band, with the support of Lee Prebble who recorded it, and the mastering by Mu of Fat Freddy’s Drop.

In 2007, the band’s landmark debut album, KORA chartered a huge success on the New Zealand Top 40 album chart, where it remained for 57 weeks, peaking at #1. This was followed by double platinum album sales and a surge in their fan following, which was made even more powerful with their return in 2012 with the release of Light Years. The second album remained in the charts for 11 weeks, peaking in at #1 on the New Zealand music charts and #1 on the iTunes chart, following on to be another much-loved favourite among fans and music critics alike.

The video for Carolina was produced and directed by Gareth Moon. Thanks to the assistance of NZ On Air
