Tongan / Niuean, this slaps harder then dads hidings 🤣 chhheee hoooo! Poly love 🤙🏽

She has great control with her vocals! 🔥🔥🔥

Te ataahua hoki o te waiata nei. Kei aku tuakana o Te Moana nui, mauri ora e mihi atu ana kia koutou katoa.

Tongan living in Australia gotta say, 8hrs on repeat at work😂😂 aye chicks vibe is ooon love it, and her voice is on point love it 🔥🔥🙏💯

She sings soulfully with her gut controlled with chest and neck ... No extravagant voice vibratos as in many r n b style which most Pacific singers do today ..... A raw Cook Islander ..... Great backing by the gentlemen 🇵🇬🌈😎

Should record this 😍 make in to a audio cause this is a vibe

Whoever knows these musicians need to tell them to record this like actually get in the studio cause this is too fucking good.

This woman has a strong, beautiful voice A natural flow and awesome vibe Love this song, on repeat also😊
