KORA Delivers Sun-Soaked Dub Reggae Tune ‘Easy Now (Final Season)’
KORA Delivers Sun-Soaked Dub Reggae Tune ‘Easy Now (Final Season)’
August 1st, 2025
Kora are back-and sound bigger, deeper and more electrifying than ever. With a long-awaited new album Fifth Season set for release August 22nd digitally and on vinyl and a national tour to match, the iconic Aotearoa band is set to reawaken the hearts of fans both old and new.
With new album single,’Easy Now (Final Season)’, Kora delivers a sun-soaked dub reggae tune that feels like a deep exhale. Built on warm basslines, lush guitar layers, and blissed-out grooves, it’s a timely reminder to lean into life’s natural pace, and embrace change as journey towards our final season
Fifth Season showcases the dynamic range of Kora from the funky, upbeat rhythms of ‘Dancing in the Rain’, to the broken-hearted power ballad ‘Gone’. ‘Falling For You’ taps into the unmistakable Minneapolis sound, and Revolution’ (featuring brother Laughton Kora) is a compelling reggae anthem for 2025 that cuts right to the heart of political accountability. ‘Revolution’ rides on a buoyant groove, driven by punchy guitar skanks, a bass-heavy groove and soulful vocals, making it as danceable as it is politically charged.
The Fifth Season Album Release Tour sees the band hitting the road for a run of unmissable headline shows across the country.
Kicking off in Hamilton at The Factory on Friday 20 September, followed by a night at Auckland’s iconic Powerstation on Friday 3 October, before wrapping up in the capital at Wellington’s newest venue, Meow Nui, on Saturday 11 October.
