There’s nothing more appealing and summer-appropriate than kicking back on the beach. Local artists have sung about cooling off and catching surf, but no one does it quite like Kolohe Kai – a group that has mined the unbridled imagery and energy of fun in the sun and producing equally joyous tunes. Kolohe kai translates to “rascals in the water.” Some may be all work and no play, but Kolohe Kai renders Hawaii all play, all day through their sincere, catchy, free-floating vibes.
Kolohe Kai recently released “Heartstrings” – a new single destined to be the next summer jam, but Kolohe Kai has been churning out ready-made summer tunes since they got started. Songs off their debut album This Is the Life still enjoy radio-play to this day.
Their first song, “Butterflies,” charts the tug of war between fear and desire in the face of a first crush: You’re my crush/Can’t you see the way I blush. No matter how shy you are, Kolohe Kai reassures that everything will be alright through their feel-good brand of irie-reggae.
“Lover Girl” slows the tempo down and continues the story of a potential romance to a love made true. Reggae’s endless appeal apart from the overall catchiness is its ability to rhythmically capture love’s ebb and flow.
