Theia is celebrated for weaving her native tongue into her politically charged anthems, and her latest single, Hoki Whenua Mai (Return the Land), is no different. This single brings together haka, pūtātara, and driving alt-pop to demand land back and honour her iwi’s story.

It’s a bold track from her upcoming debut album, a project that digs deep into the impact of colonisation and the strength of cultural survival.
