Bic Runga might not be a name you recognize, but this song is quite famous. I definitely heard it before coming to New Zealand. She is half Chinese half Maori. It's a cute pop song.

Beautiful song, very distinct and nice voice with large vibration range.
Cuss.
Yeah, I love her voice as well. There is an innocence to her voice that matches her look.
It's funny, when you posted this blog, and it came into my inbox as an email, my friend was here, and caught the message brief on the screen, while we were watching other Youtube videos. She recognised it instantly from her youth (it turns out she was subscribed to some magazine, and they once sent her a CD with a bunch of songs, and this was on it. The song made her feel so good in the car to somewhere) , and made me watch it right away! It's a great catchy song that I've extracted, and I'm now listening to it as part of my music selection :)
Glad you like it! I finally found some bands that are not all reggae. Took me a while, but now you'll all be getting a good dose of different types of music.
