Album Review
A solid sophomore album from Raiatea Helm, a young artist in the revival of classic Hawaiian music with a nice ukulele ability and a stunning falsetto. The fare is largely from the basic songbook of classic, early tourist-era Hawaiian music, with ukulele, steel, and guitars. All of the instrumentals are well performed, with Raiatea generally playing the ukulele in the somewhat easier pieces, and other members taking over when she has more demanding vocal parts to take care of. Guest vocalists lend a hand as needed as well, with Keali'I Reichel and Auntie Genoa Keawe being the most notable. For those looking for classic Hawaiian music, some of the classic stars may be the first choice. Nonetheless, Raiatea commands a beautiful voice and can rival some of the classic recordings (with better sound quality no less). A nice addition to the collection.
Customer Reviews
A True Hawaiian Voice
Raitea has a truely Hawaiian voice. Her sweet Hawaiian ha'i's are far superior to other contemporary female Hawaiian recording artists in the 20 to 40 something age group. And she doesn't scream her songs to boot. Other younger wahine singers should look to her for inspiration because her voice is old school and so nahenahe. I love it.
A unique & beautiful voice
If you're looking for beautiful and authentic Hawaiian music or just an album for a breezy summer day at the beach, then "Sweet and Lovely" is definitely one you should consider. Raiatea has a unique and beautiful voice and deserves to be known to a much wider audience!
Very Sweet and Lovely
Raiatea's voice is amazingly mature and seasoned considering she is so young. Her music reminds me of the music I would hear floating through stores as I worked down in Waikiki. I think this is probably her best album, but all our excellent. I'm glad iTunes got them in iTunes Plus.
