Product Overview
Teeks - Something To Feel (CD) Te Karehana Gardiner-Toi is a sensitive man and that is a profoundly good thing. Known as TEEKS, this soulful MaÞori singer/songwriter/producer, 25, has been tapping into his feelings through songs of love and loss since his magical independent EP, The Grapefruit Skies, released in June 2017. By 2019, he had captivated the industryâs imagination as his towering potential came into focus. The EP had captured for TEEKS national success in his home country, New Zealand, including being nominated for a Taite Music Prize, a Silver Scroll and won him the prestigious Best MaÞori Artist Award at the Vodafone NZ Music Awards in 2017, and countless fans with gigs at home, in Australia and the United Kingdom. In March 2019, he realized a tremendous dream when he played his first headline show, a sold-out, impressive set at the Auckland Town Hall with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra. The New Zealand Listener (Noted) compared this moment to a pivotal juncture in music history proclaiming his performance had the Óemotional punch as, say, Adeleâs version of Someone Like You at the Brits in 2011.Ý On his debut full-length studio album, Something To Feel, (Sony Music) which he executive produced, he cranks up the emotions meter, taking us on a personal journey of love found, lost, unrequited, yearning, wholesome, sexy and finding oneâs true self when you finally give in to matters of the heart. Something To Feel is the first album from Te Karehana Gardiner-Toi, the New Zealand MaÞori singer-songwriter better known as TEEKS. A collection of elegantly crafted songs about love and self-knowledge, Something To Feel blends anthemic piano ballads, and gospel soul with confessional electronic pop and uptempo funk.
