notes

REVIEW BY WAYNE HARADA - THE HONOLULU ADVERTISER, HAWAII

* Genre: Island contemporary.

* Distinguishing notes: Keahiwai - Lei Melket and Mailani Makainai - offers its third CD (OK, fourth, if you count the Christmas disc), and it's loaded with originals and a fast-forward momentum. There is sweetness and romance in the duo's sound, with crisply arranged contemporary tunes and a focus on simplicity and sincerity. "Fits So Well," "When We're Apart," "Invisible" and "In Between Times" reflect what's in their hearts and on their minds. The arrangements are clean, the back-up musicianship supportive and not intrusive, enabling the individual voices to shine in hues. There's a splendid joie de vivre in the bounce and flow of the selections. And if you're wondering, the "Dangerous" theme comes from the title song reflecting on the perils of love. While the orientation may be decidedly local, the appeal is universal.

* The outlook: Keahiwai shows growth, maturity and progress in their evolving careers.

* Our take: It would be dangerous and silly to miss this one.

    Hello Keahiwai I was on the CD Baby site when I noticed your album. I just want to say this you guys are absolutely talented. I love your songwriting and the way you excecute the vocals on the production. There are some albums that I listen to on this website and like one or two out of ten songs. However your album is definately worth while buying. Every single tracks on this album I love and enjoy. I must confess my favorite tracks are track 3. "Dangerous", track 6. "Now You're Gone" and track 7. "Could Never Leave Without You. I am also a musician on the CD Baby website. I feel your music deeply because I can relate with you guys. I am from the island as well, I am from Jamaica. Keep on writing and definately don't give up keep on pushing for the stars. One day I know I'll see you guys on the grammys. Peace, Love, Light & Happiness
