Shownotes
Kai Mata is an Indonesian-American singer/songwriter currently living in Bali, Indonesia. Time To Shine is her debut full-length album and if this is an indication of what's to come, it's time to listen. Mature and poised, outspoken and beautiful, she is an artist and musician that is just twenty-one-years old but get ready. There's more to come.
The album depicts sunrises, pouring rains, endless landscapes and solemn travels. Kai Mata is humble about her talent, yet bold with her message of love and honesty. Her subtle yet inspiring vocals are unique on both the more laidback tracks like “Magic” and the bolder tunes: “Strays”, “Time To Shine” and “Good Morning, Beautiful.” Her guitar is just what is needed to back her voice and allow the lyrics to shine. The music on the album is not only written with a feeling and perfection, it’s also arranged in a seasoned professional way with additional instruments never standing on the way but enhancing all nice musical ideas that the record. The vocals are tastefully layered and they are all Kai.
Kai Mata's debut album lets the truth she experiences ring in the air. A bright and bold declaration about seizing destiny, implementing a folksy beat to depict the joy of life, magic of love, shadows casted by light, and the heartbeat that conducts the journey.
Words fall short of describing this music. Kai was a pleasure to chat with...all so good.
