Various - Kiwi Reunion

Review by Milenko Olivos

Kiwi Reunion is a compilation album that brings together some of the most iconic New Zealand artists and songs from the 70s and 80s. Featuring hits from Split Enz, Crowded House, Dave Dobbyn, and many others, this album is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for those who grew up listening to Kiwi music.

The album opens with Split Enz's classic track "I Got You," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The upbeat and catchy tune is followed by other iconic hits such as "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" by Split Enz, "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House, and "Loyal" by Dave Dobbyn.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Victoria" by The Exponents. The song's catchy guitar riff and sing-along chorus make it an instant classic that still gets played on New Zealand radio stations today. Another highlight is "Glad I'm Not a Kennedy" by Shona Laing, a hauntingly beautiful song that reflects on the tragedy of the Kennedy family.
