LYRICS:
Verse 1:
In the summer
Meet you on the corner street
Sweat on your shoulders
You lean in to say to me
I just wanna kiss you
Every second miss you
Come in get closer 

Verse 2:
Who knows what tomorrow brings
Don’t wanna take cover
Who cares if tomorrow stings
Just wanna kiss you
I just wanna kiss you
Every second miss you
Come in get closer  

Chorus:
Don’t come here unless you love me like I do
Don’t come here unless you love me
Don’t come here unless you love me like I do
Don’t come here unless you love me 

Verse 3:
Love is a mountain
Just take me up to the peak
I’m yours I surrender  
Just want you to say to me
Don’t wanna lose ya 

Verse 4:
I don’t wanna lose you
Every second choose you
Come in get closer 

Chorus:
Don’t come here unless you love me like I do
Don’t come here unless you love me
Don’t come here unless you love me like I do
Don’t come here unless you love me

I was at The Pond . The Pond in Sydney. Now known at Commons. My friend Nathan was leaving. Leaving for San Fran. We were at The Pond. I miss my friend Nathan. But there was a man. He worked behind the bar. His name was Sergei.  He made me a drink. And then he said I will remix your song. For free. Because I'm rad. And that's what rad people do. Sergei is a rad man. He lives in Melbourne now. There are rad people in Melbourne.

NEW SINGLE: ONCE 
FIRST CUT FROM SECOND ALBUM BLASTOMA

Born in the Papua New Guinean town famous as the last place Amelia Earhart flew out of before meeting her demise, Ngaiire spent her first few years in NZ in an almost exclusively Maori primary school, exposed to as much ballet and opera as her parents could get her to. 

Returning to PNG a few years later, her first experience of live music was watching American college big bands on tour, and her flair for costuming developed by her fashion designer mother’s keen eye for the dramatic. 

Growing up listening to the reggae, Australian Top 40, and her Mum’s Mariah Carey and Cliff Richard albums, it wasn’t until Ngaiire’s family moved to Australian that her musical outlook went wide lens. She heard Ani DiFranco, Jeff Buckley, Tool, Sarah Vaughan, Debussy and Gershwin for the first time, and went to her first ever gig – Machine Gun Fellatio, officially blowing her mind, and inspiring a Visual Arts major work for highschool that essentially filled her mother’s loungeroom with fake gigantic phalluses. 

Joining bands and studying for her Bachelor of Jazz Studies at the Conservatorium of Music, Ngaiire somehow ended up on Australian Idol - hint: it was her incredible voice that did it. The more illuminating experiences, though, were touring extensively throughout the UK, Japan, Europe and Canada as a backing singer with Blue King Brown, and commencing an enduring collaborative friendship with electronic music don Paul Mac. Ngaiire, global citizen, now felt she had the universe in the palm of her hands. 

Releasing her future-soul debut Lamentations in 2013 to some acclaim, leading to her first ever slot at Glastonbury and shows with Alicia Keys and John Legend, Ngaiire has left no genre unturned in her search for herself. While she’s spent time writing music for dance companies, creating crazy sound installations for David Walsh’s MONA FOMA, collaborating with fashion designers, dreaming of working with Warhol and Phillip Glass and generally being a boho-R’n’B- weirdo-dilettante, the biggest project for this powerhouse performer has been new record Blastoma.

Without doubt, one of Australia’s most unique, eclectic and fearless artists, as evidenced by her electric shows, spine-tingling vocal deliveries and outrageous costumes, Ngaiire now releases Blastoma’s first single, ‘Once’. Co-written with mega-babes Megan Washington and Paul Mac, and produced by Paul Mac and Jack Grace, ‘Once’ is about taking risks that turn into revelations: story of her life. 

Strong and true and powerful. LITTLE ROLLING STONE

You can't stop this talented young singer's momentum. TONE DEAF

There is no doubt in my mind of the incredibly high value of her music in this world. BEAVER ON THE BEATS

Ngaiire is the very definition of originality. BBM LIVE
