2025 Silver Scroll nomination for the stunning “LightBulb” Congratulations @ladiwho & @parksdale_ & @bharumusic 🌹🌹🌹🌹 “Untethered from the mid-tempo drums that have underscored much of her catalogue, Ladi6 sings with a graceful melancholy over a rich bed of bubbling lead synths, woozy pads, triumphant stabs, and a g-funk indepted whistle. Sitting between the 60’s/70’s modular synthesiser experimentation of Wendy Carlos and Mort Garson and the modern ambient/electronic sound of Kelela, FKA Twigs, Solange and their peers, “LightBulb” feels like a moment of pause, a stylistic reset, and a glorious portent of things yet to come. - Martyn Pepperell Engineered by @parksdale_ & @bharumusic Mixed by @sggooding Mastered by @jackkpalmer #ladi6 #aotearoamusic #newzealandmusic #silverscrolls

Years in the making, Le Vā represents a creative reinvention and a recalibration of the signature wavey electronic soul sound she’s known for. It also marks a profound chapter of personal growth and healing. At its heart, Le Vā is a dedication to Ladi6’s beloved mother, Fuarosa, who passed in 2020. Her memory and spirit are woven through every note and lyric – the album standing as a tribute to her life, her influence, and the space her absence has created. “Le Vā explores that sacred space between us – the seen and unseen, what we carry and what we release,” says Ladi6. “This project is both a farewell and a becoming.” To celebrate the album, Ladi6 will embark on the Le Vā Album Tour – a series of live shows that will bring the new project to life while revisiting iconic songs from her back catalogue. This tour is infused with gratitude – a thank you to the loyal community that has walked alongside her journey for over two decades. “We’ve curated a show that honours where we’ve come from and where we’re headed. It’s our way of saying thank you to everyone who has held us up through all the seasons.” Le Vā is a sonic offering of healing, transformation, and legacy. The album and tour together serve as an invitation: to feel, to remember, and to move forward – together. Artwork by @parallel.teeth and @anns_taylor_design

Merry Christmas to many! Hope it’s better for you than it is for these poor characters. We were devastated when @parallel.teeth left London. All we can do now is post old projects and remember the good times… …like when we made some jolly music for this Christmas-themed bumper, where a nasty little Santa ruins the parade. Custom made for the stonking, great 72m by 19m @cvisionhk LED screen on the SOGO Causeway Bay department store in Hong Kong.

This festive season, @sparknz is all about giving the gift of inspiration! 🎁✨ Thanks to @colenso_bbdo , we teamed up with @welcometosupernormal to tell a heartwarming tale. 🌟 We crafted a whimsical world where a grandmother transforms into a super cool cat, rocking a bomber jacket and snazzy white boots, all while retrieving a special "gift" for her grandchild. 🌈 Check out our design process and credits at the link in bio. #SparkNZ #ChristmasMagic #animation
