AMG Review of E O Mai

Rodney Batdorf
All Music Guide

Keali'i Reichel's third album E O Mai is a lovely mixture of contemporary and traditional Hawaiian music. It's a loose concept album about water, particularly in how it relates to love and life, and Keali'i keeps it together by balancing his poetic gifts with soaring music, both modern and ancient. The result is a truly original and moving listening experience.
