Honolulu’s Azato recaptures the soulful essence of reggae, with a fresh take on both the genre and songwriting. When We Gonna Start? is a mellow and increasingly hopeful, uplifting ode to unity, and provides an active opposition to the rise of division and fighting.
Featuring the additional talents of Jonah Jaxon, When We Gonna Start? is melodically engaging, with a riding bass-line and humble rhythms to back up sublime vocal leads from both Azato and Jaxon. The release lights up the space thanks to its heartfelt purpose, its organic musicality, and the faultless overall production and capture.
Purity and honest intentions guide us into the warmth and optimism of this single. Azato impresses and connects, maintaining integrity as both performer and songwriter, and in in the process delivering a superb summer anthem for the indie masses and festivals alike.
