Reggae-inspired kiwi band Corrella have had a big year. 

They were launched into the spotlight with the success of hit single ‘Blue Eyed Maori’, which holds the record for most weeks ever spent at the top of the NZ Singles Chart.   

The Tāmaki Makaurau band claimed Breakthrough Single and Best Roots Artist at the Aotearoa Music Awards - and building on that momentum, have released a brand new album Skeletons. 

The 11-track collection is filled with soulful roots reggae, with touches of funk, gospel, pop, soul, and even a bit of country. 

Corrella's lead singer Pipi Campbell and guitarist Te Naawe Tupe joined Francesca Rudkin in studio to celebrate the release with a special live performance.
