Like New Zealand music icon, Sharon O’Neal, indie popstar LadyHawke also of New Zealand, is a blonde on a mission of original song writing ability with a distinctly down under pop sound.
We love her.
Kiwi blonde girls are unbeatable with their originality in music. Look out Lady Gaga! Sharon O’Neils big hit, Maxine, from 1983 was on the TV when LadyHawke was born.
And don’t even get me started on my favorite Indie pop star brunette Kiwi girls. Nothing can compare to Brooke Fraser, Boh Runga, Bic Runga and Pearl Runga’s songwriting abilities.
Like LadyHawke, these girls know how to pic up guitars and write world inspiring lyrics. Check them out too. They’re gem cutters of soulful song. When you grow up in beautiful, New Zealand, dubbed God’s Own (or A Slice of Paradise), you can’t help but capture a snapshot of life in pretty songs. All these pop princesses do that so well. It goes with the the territory.
