When She Loves Me feat. Rayvon

You ever get the feeling like people are waiting on you? Me neither. Ok, that’s how I been feelin’, but I’ve heard the call (more like a whisper), and I’m here to answer.. months later. Not 100% sure of my answer, but it’s an answer nonetheless. I might be taking a chance on all sides with this one, but we’ll find out soon enough if it’s a chance worth taking..

“FAST”. Produced by yours truly. If it ain’t obvious, the song revolves around a sample, which is an old childhood favorite, “Funga Sia” by Ulise Pole’o. Released in the mid ’90s as part of the album “Love Is All We Need” (a title that could’t be more relevant for our time now), it wasted not a second in becoming an instant classic amongst the Tongans. The Pole’o name is well-known amongst the Tongan community for their unweathered music, so it’s definitely a risk on my part in sampling this renowned record. However, as we all know, with great risk comes great reward.. High time for me to rise to the occasion. I’m confident in it, but you can never be too sure. 

I digress. The record is a fun, upbeat song that I think may cater more to the younger audience; 9 and under range.. It’s summer, so I guess it’s only right I pander to the ones that’ll be the most energized and active. The decision was between this and the the next one I’ll be throwin’ out (soon), but I’m equally happy with both. My latest releases were a little serious and a bit gloomy, so I thought I’d lighten the mood a bit with this one. The record still carries some introspect, but I think I stayed true to the vibe- I don’t know, let me know how I did.

Official release date for major streaming services only is May 27th- due to approval issues. Also, there are 2 versions to this release. I acknowledge that my audience is well mixed in background, so I kept one all in English and the extended version mashed up with lyrics from the original song sampled and my own. However, if you’re lookin’ for the all-English version- both are actually available as FREE downloads through my bandcamp [https://sionetoki.bandcamp.com], follow the “buy” link or stream it on Spotify!

Onto the artwork/Israel Folau. Honestly, I don’t follow the bro all that much, so I couldn’t tell you what his stats look like. Although, I definitely took notice when the media here in the states started covering his “controversial” posts. I happened to be workin’ on this record when it all started snowballin’, and yet again, kismet, as far as artwork goes.  Obviously I’m sidin’ with my dude, since I got him on the artwork and all. NOT because I’m in total agreement with his actions and what he believes in, but because I believe in freedom of expression. Folau was found guilty in violating his $4M contract a few days ago, so I suspect his career as a ball player might take a turn for the worse. He was presented a peace-offering by the AFL, but he stood firm by his convictions and declined. I truly admire Israel’s faith and his courage to put EVERYTHING at risk for what he believes in, showing many of us that material things are not important. At least, not as important as we might see it. If you’re not gonna take it from anyone else, maybe we should take it from someone that really is wealthy.

Alrighty, people. I hope you enjoy the record, as much as you have my others in the past. I’m slow at puttin’ content out, but I try my best to make the wait worth while. Feel free to let me know how you feel about it. BIGG SHOTS to ‘Ulise Pole’o for his personal approval of the sample, as well as BIGG TANKS to my dawg LOA POLE’O (of 3RP) for being my liaison to the legend. Last, but not least, I thank God for his countless blessings, one of which patient listeners like YOU. ’Til next time, friends and fam. FAST.

FAST.

FAST. (Extended)

Welcome, family & friends- BACK with another one like I been here the whole time. This time accompanied by a friend who happens to descend from a major line of musicians. None other than the new-age reggae star himself, Jemere Morgan. Apparently it’s been 4 whole months since “FAST.”, and no follow-up, so.. here’s a drop!

Let me update you on what I’ve been up to lately, and what you can expect in the near future. Unfortunately my time has been stretched out about as far it can possibly be stretched- everything pulling in opposite directions, none of which willing to relent. At this point, sleep is prized. Anywho, I’ve been working on new music; both my own and features. I admit to not being the most efficient artist out here, but I do try to be thorough in making sure the quality is there. Forcing through the process has left me in regret every time. Also, much of what I’ve been up to is research and study. With the industry in constant evolution, it’s important that I keep up and make necessary decisions based on the changes of the game. One of those decisions would be the utilization YouTube. I’ll be much more active on the platform moving forward- live streams, posts and other exclusive content..

I’ve de-ranked my social media in priority, with the exception of IG, just to focus on the platforms that provide the most results in terms of outreach numbers. Not only that, I value my privacy now more than ever haha.. Aside from what I’ve mentioned now, there’s not much else to cover- the rest being none of your business haha..

Summer time is over (here in the U.S.), but the vibes continue! “No Prob.”, short for “no problem” of course, focuses on the simple things; Family, time and experience. Nothing more, nothing less. In a world where accessibility to anything we want, in infinite number, and available in no time at all, it’s easy to get caught up in our own posessions. Not to totally take away our natural want for things, ‘cause I enjoy these materials myself. However, I’ve noticed that many are mislead to believe that these objects somehow define who they are, or their status. Reminds of that moment in Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” where Peter Parker (Spider-Man) had been given a state-of-the-art suit as a gift from Tony Stark (Iron Man). Long-story short, Parker had not been responsible in his use of the suit, so Tony requests for the suit back, claiming he doesn’t deserve it. Peter’s response to which was that he is “nothing without the suit.”. Tony then tells Peter “If you’re nothing without this suit, then you shouldn’t have it.”.

I’m as materialistic as they come. If I could, it’d be diamonds dancin’, no romancin’ in this bi-. But because I’ve come to understand intrinsic value through my upbringing by way of my parents, my vanity is kept at bay haha..

BiGG S/O to Jemere Morgan and his family. Also shouts to those who’ve helped me bring this collaboration together (unnamed for privacy concerns)- it’s actually been a while comin’, so I’m happy I’m finally able to share it with the people. Artwork by Lahvjal Fuimaono, so big shots to him as well. Thank YOU, the listener, for riding with me even now. Last, but not least, I thank God. The almighty definitely plays a roll in the blessings that come, and I’d be nothing without Him. ’Til next time. BLESS!
