Customer Reviews

Five Stars is Not Enough...
This is such a wonderful album..I fell into it 'accidentally', and have been moved by every song. I have never heard this kind of music before, and although I don't know a word of Hawaiian (Ok, maybe ONE..'aloha'), the songs are so beautifully sung by Keali'i that you just seem to understand what they are saying.

"I've Been Wanting Memories" is an incredible track that is on par with some of Bobby McFerrin's best work, and Keali'i's rendition of "In My Life" (with spine tingling hawaiian Chant) is alone worth the price of the album.

Buy this one...you won't be sorry.

Soothing and romantic, a little bit of Aloha in my home.
I picked this up on my recent visit to Maui, and I hit the jackpot!! I love every song, whether in English or Hawaiian (and I LOVE that they give you all the Hawaiian lyrics so you can learn to sing along--and trust me, you'll want to!). There are a few familiar tunes blended in among the Hawaiian ones, such as the Beatles' "In My Life." Keali'i's voice is beautiful...and while his music makes me sad because I miss Hawaii, at least I can have a little bit of Aloha in my home to soothe my soul until I am fortunate enough to be in Hawaii once again.

A wonderful contemporary Hawaiian CD
Keali'i Reichel's music has always been more accessible to the average tourist than that of other Hawaiian artists. On this CD, he includes both songs in English and songs from the Mainland redone in a Hawaiian style. A good buy for people wanting an introduction to Hawaiian music, but not wanting something too foreign. I like to play it for Mainland friends who wonder what Hawaiian music is, if it isn't awful touristy reggae-ish cheese.
