Hemi Hemingway
With the rock’n’roll panache of a dive bar matador and the emotional force of a knife in the guts, Hemi Hemingway makes music that thrills, spills and breaks hearts. The effortlessly slick New Zealand star has a connoisseur’s ear for the finest parts of musical history, sweeping 60s rock, 50s sheen and 80s romanticism into the present day, refurbishing and refashioning them into something new and fresh. At home in the spotlight, he’s a showman in the best troubadour traditions, but one with real depth, showcasing swagger and vulnerability in equal measure.
Hemingway’s debut album Strangers Again is a record with the dramatic scope of an epic novel, taking in love, loss, and a Māori person’s place in a changing New Zealand, with Hemi’s magnetism holding things together in the eye of the storm. That package comes wrapped up in perfectly-crafted, leather-clad rock’n’roll ballads, a joyride through all his musical touchstones, an adventure through all that makes up Hemi Hemingway. It’s a testament to all Hemi brings to the table as an artist. He takes up themes at the emotional edge, like romance and heartbreak, and writes them with a depth and nuance that gives them new life. Add to that his razor-sharp songwriting and immaculate ear for a hook, and it makes for music that grips you on first listen, and never lets go.
