We’ve been given a little tip off about a brand new signing to Sony Music over in New Zealand, and after having a little listen to his debut single ‘Bones’, we thought it our duty to introduce Australia to Seth Haapu.
Though he’s really no stranger to our shores, having entered Australian Idol back in 2005, ultimately making it through to the top 30. But he left the competition disillusioned with the prospect of having his music career decided upon by text votes.
Five years on at the age of 23, Seth is now signed and has seen his track ‘Bones’ taken to radio in New Zealand. Plans are also reportedly afoot to release his material in Australia later in the year.
It’s organic, intelligent pop – and you can have a little listen to it yourself over at his OFFICIAL MYSPACE.
