Lemmyvision is a competition where you nominate a song from your country from the last year and everyone votes on their favourite. More info here.

We have until the end of the month to select and enter something from NZ released after 1/1/2023.

Post your suggestions below and upvote the ones you want to be submitted.

I'm hoping other people have suggestions as I can't name any songs from 2023 let alone (edit: a 2023) one from NZ ๐Ÿ˜†

I know just the thing!

Yahyah feat. Mohi - I Like You (english/te reo)

Other ideas from 2023 - all of these have great videos btw:

The Black Seeds - So True/Koia ko kohi (te teo version from 2023)

Stan Walker - I Am

L.A.B - Cassanova

Just edited to link to all videos so refresh your page if you can't see it.

So True should be our national anthem!

Here is another suggestion Minuit - Aotearoa

Cool track, seems to have been uploaded years ago though?

[โ€“] BalpeenHammer@lemmy.nz 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh yea it's old. But somebody suggested so true and that's also old.

It was me, it's the Te Reo Maori version which I think was released in 2023. Probably would be pushing the rules though.

Quick, somebody do a cover! Honestly though I think it's a great song when you take out the repetitions at the end.

[โ€“] liv@lemmy.nz 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah I like it a lot. It's very chill. There was a Slice of Heaven cover in 2023 but I didn't like their version much.

I'm a bit out of the loop since Stan Walker won Australian Idol. What's our claim to him? He seems to win award for being an Australian artist and for being a New Zealand artist ๐Ÿ˜†

Would Aussies consider the song as one they could submit?

[โ€“] liv@lemmy.nz 2 points 7 months ago

Not sure...
