Choice Kiwi Cuts 2019: Israel Starr & Troy Kingi - Let It Be

I’m cheating here, including this on a 2019 list, because so far as I know, Israel Starr and Troy Kingi’s collaborative effort, ‘Let It Be’, was released in December of 2018. But, well, you know. What’s a month or so between friends, right? It’s summer down here at the bottom of the world, and this one is a certified funky summer jam dripping with positivity. Which seems like a pretty festive thing to be. I believe the glittery production vibe is mostly Starr, and the soulful vocal is mostly Kingi. 2019 was a big year for Kingi in particular, with the release of his Holy Colony Burning Acres album. Which was a successful follow-up to his 2017 breakthrough release, Shake Your Skinny Ass All The Way To Zygertron, quite possibly the finest space-funk album we've ever seen in these parts.
