Not only is New Zealand harbouring 16 year-old pop stars but it's also holding the talents of Ladi6 who has been a stalwart in the realm of soul music (with a hip-hop edge) there for quite some time now. Automatic is the singer/songwriter's third solo album that was just released a few days ago. For the purpose of making sure North American ears hear this album, we are giving you a slight kick with the album standouts, "Diamonds" & "Shine On" — you can find both of them below. Alternatively, you can hear the entire album via Bandcamp.
