Paua – FOR THE PEOPLE EP – encompasses all of Paua’s unique signature elements, which cater for the mind, body, heart and soul – there is something for everyone.
The single, ‘Promises and Lies’, is a thought-provoking track echoing the injustices of indigenous peoples. The focal points of this song convey the deep desire of people from any land, to refute, that their dispossession will ever take away that which is most precious to them; their roots.
Paua – FOR THE PEOPLE EP is out now.
‘Promises and Lies’ available on Spotify / Apple
The video for ‘Promises and Lies’ will be released in June.
