Pepe & Her Rarotongans - Siren Songs Of The South Seas

Review by Angelina My Cute Baker

Pepe & Her Rarotongans' album Siren Songs of the South Seas is a captivating musical journey that takes the listener to the idyllic islands of the Pacific. The album is a beautiful blend of traditional Polynesian music and contemporary sounds that create a unique and refreshing listening experience.

The album opens with the title track "Siren Songs of the South Seas," a hauntingly beautiful song that showcases Pepe's rich and soulful voice. The song is a perfect introduction to the rest of the album, which features a range of upbeat and mellow tunes that capture the essence of life in the South Pacific.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Te Vaka," a lively song that features the traditional rhythms and instruments of the Cook Islands. The song is a celebration of the islands' culture and traditions, and Pepe's vocals are particularly impressive as she effortlessly switches between English and Cook Islands Maori.

Another highlight of the album is "Pua O Te Reinga," a hauntingly beautiful song that tells the story of a woman's journey to the afterlife. The song is a testament to Pepe's ability to convey emotion through her voice, and the accompanying music perfectly captures the mood of the song.
