Australian based Ngaiire recently signed to Majestic Casual and listening to her sublime vocal aesthetic, artistic melodic moves on "Boom" and it is utterly apparent that she is at another level compared to most. The pop forward world feels so stagnant to me and has felt so for several years. Even artists like Eilish have a sort of plastic American Idol-esque quality and that is why Ngaiire feels like such a revelation not only here but in everything she does, everything she touches. Oftentimes her artistry feels like a pitch perfect hybrid of genres so much so as to feel genre agnostic, call it future soul, future pop, indie R&B, call it Ngaiire.

YouTube tastemaker and artist incubator Majestic Casual announces the signing of future-soul darling NGAIIRE. The signing comes as the Papua New Guinea (PNG) born, Sydney-based artist prepares for the release of her third studio album (due out August 2021).
The first official single from the album, 'Boom', is about the taboo nature of sex in her home country of PNG. NGAIIRE adds: “Boom is about all that drama and lust – the glutton of sex and adultery and the debauchery that comes with sexual suppression and colonisation.”
Having built a musical identity that effortlessly crosses genre and art form, her renowned vocals, tight beats and big pop sounds have seen NGAIIRE acquire countless accolades including four National Live Music Awards, an FBi Radio SMAC Award for best live act, Australian Music Prize and AIR Award nominations for her 2016 release 'Blastoma' and the inaugural Australian Women in Music Award for Artistic Excellence. Not to mention gracing the stages of Glastonbury through to Splendour In The Grass, and touring alongside artists from Sufjan Stevens to Alicia Keys to Flume.
NGAIIRE released the next single from the album, 'Closer', on May 20th.
