Mozie Shimmers & Shines on New Single ‘Here We Go Again’
After emerging in 2022, Wairarapa-raised, Pōneke-based Samoan artist Mozie has returned this New Zealand Music Month to stake her claim in Aotearoa’s R&B scene with a vibey new tune, Here We Go Again.
Smooth and slow-burning R&B-pop, Here We Go Again showcases the strength and beauty of Mozie’s voice and her relatable and honest lyricism that hits the listener straight in the heart.
“I wrote Here We Go Again inspired by someone close to me, who was in a situation with someone they were far too good for. It was hard for them to walk away because of how intoxicating the love and infatuation was at the time. I wanted this song to say, ‘I see you, I hear you and I’m here for you while you figure it out’,” says Mozie, who co-wrote the song with Wellington musician and performer Leonardo Coghini.
Mozie has been making a name for herself on the live scene for several years now, providing backing vocals for some of Aotearoa’s most beloved acts such as Louis Baker and Bret Mckenzie. But she’s also been quietly working away at her own music and the NZ on Air funded Here We Go Again follows her 2024 single Sonshine and her 2022 debut Not Done Loving.
All three songs demonstrate a young artist with exceptional talent and lay down the foundations for an exciting journey ahead.
