Corrella are back for 2026 with upbeat new single ‘Under The Covers’
Tāmaki Makaurau band Corrella return with their exciting new single, Under The Covers. The track marks their first new release since their hit 2024 album Skeletons, and arrives following a huge summer that has seen the band light up festival stages across Aotearoa and join UB40 on their New Zealand tour.
Under the Covers shows a smooth, confident new sound that plays on the idea of people moving quietly behind the scenes, trying to get closer than they’re letting on.
Blending warm guitar tones and horns with Corrella’s signature off-beat rhythm and laid-back feel, the song is about reading between the lines, recognising the moves people think they’re hiding, and staying grounded while the story unfolds around you.
The single arrives as the first step in a journey towards their third album release. The track features lead vocals from Te Naawe Tupe, and sees them recording and collaborating in studio with producer Christian Mausia, a key member of the Corrella live experience.
Since breaking through with their debut album Road From 26 and the record-breaking single Blue Eyed Māori, their second album featured the hit single How Will I Know, which was one of the most-played songs on NZ radio for over three months. After taking home Best Roots Artist at the Aotearoa Music Awards for two straight years, the band have continued to grow their audience, selling out shows nationwide and becoming a staple on the festival circuit.
The past summer has seen Corrella’s live show go to the next level, winning over fans every time they take to the stage. Performances at the largest festivals in NZ, including Electric Avenue, Rhythm and Vines, Homegrown and Rhythm and Alps, were complemented by support slots on UB40’s entire NZ tour, and L.A.B’s sold-out Tauranga show.
After a summer of career-defining performances, Under The Covers arrives as the next step forward, a confident, feel-good release that keeps Corrella’s momentum rolling and sets the tone for what’s to come.
