Expectations 03:39
lyrics

Expectations So often we change our faces, like clothes we don’t know what to wear Masks for every mood, our frustrations spent on someone else Going down like a decline, instead of rising up like expectations Oh those expectations Putting on the make-up to hide the emotions that you don’t want no one else to see Concealing your thoughts and exhaustion of everything that you want to be Feeling like a roller coaster, going up and down don’t know where it stops All this running in circles, so tired feel like you about to drop Trying to reach your goal, trying to meet those expectations Oh those expectations It’s not easy to reach those expectations There has to be some sort of a reason All the frustration Another lesson Learnt

Be Yourself 02:35

Be Yourself Hashtag, Yolo, Omg, do these sound familiar, don’t lie to me Caught up in these like facebook or twitter The list goes on I could just sit here and tell ya That al we’re trying to do is be like everyone else But all you have to do is just be yourself, ohh oh, just be yourself You’re trying to fit where there’s no where to fit If you wanna be happy then do this real quick Just follow your heart and don’t worry about it If you do something wrong all I can say is that It’s another lesson learned and life will go on Just remember why I’m singing this song Ohh, you gotta be yourself If you be yourself then you will start to feel happy No one controlling you is the way it should be People take you in just the way you are Not like before when you put on a mask Cause some people try to hard to be like everyone else But all you’ve got to do is just be yourself, Ohh just be yourself Ohh just be yourself

Your Best 04:07
lyrics

Your best I know it’s hard sometimes Trying to make everything alright Trying to do your best though it’s not a test I confess sometimes it’s a mess Things have changed since we were young We tune ourselves to s different song Saying yes, no, maybe I don’t know bro trying to make things better for everyone though I know at times, it can be so hard With your mind running a million miles an hour Thoughts popping up like a flower Moving so fast without rest Doing everything to be your best At times we’re expecting nothing But we all go searching for one thing Looking for a meaning that’s not there How can we be so unaware? Though I think maybe it’s a good thing Feeling that we’re good for something Could it be those feelings we don’t need When we already know that we are to be All these feelings, clouding up my mind Reminds me of the good things in my life Taking a rest, wiping the sweat, forgetting about the stress and just aim to do my best

Moving On 03:12
lyrics

Moving On Sometimes in life there are times when we say Goodbye to people that we want to stay At this point of time, as I try to make this rhyme I’ll let you find out what’s on my mind Chorus I’m not afraid to shed a tear When people I know well won’t be near All those memories I’ll never forget Cause when we meet again we’ll be laughing about it Today is the day everyone crying around me People hugging each other and walking sadly This is the time that we have to move on So listen to me as I sing this song Bridge So this is the time where you sadly leave I hope you start your new journey pleasantly As I realize this may be the last time we meet I quietly sing and look down at my feet…

This time 04:11
lyrics

This Time That time when I tripped and fell Thought there was no one to pull me outta that wishing well My thoughts were tangled through and through Needed help to undo the mess I’d gotten myself into Chorus But this time I realize the good from the wrong Gonna listen to heart like I’m listening to a song Because this time there’s not a minute to waste This is a time to learn from my mistakes That time was way too long Couldn't even remember when it first begun Took me a while to realize the ripple of my tears I foolishly became what I had most feared Chorus But this time I realize the good from the wrong Gonna listen to heart like I’m listening to a song Because this time there’s not a minute to waste This is a time to learn from my mistakes Bridge In times like these remember all you know Remember that you’re not the only one in this big big world Take a deep breath and give till nothing’s left For this train won’t stop for no one Chorus So this time realize the good from the wrong Listen to your heart like you’re listening to a song Because this time there’s not a second to waste This is a time to learn from mistakes This time

Its ok to be feeling the blues 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Well it’s okay to be feeling the blues Chorus Well it’s okay to be feeling the blues, It doesn't mean there’s something wrong with you. And it’s okay to be feeling sad, It doesn't mean you’re necessarily going mad x2 Verse 1 When at night I lay down in my bed Unpleasant thoughts are churning in my head. I think of all the bad things on our planet The pain, the chaos of fear and panic The thought of losing ones I love so dear Makes me emotional and brings me close to tears. I hope and pray these things don’t come to pass I hope and pray that my thoughts won’t last. Chorus,…bridge,….. Verse 2 Sometimes I feel feelings of anxiety When I think of what’s happening to our society People treat each other with such disrespect The bonds we share as human have begun to disconnect This crowded world we live in people still do feel alone Cause instead of searching for friendship they decide to stay unknown I hope and pray these things don’t come to pass I hope and pray that my thoughts won’t last. Bridge But I just got to have faith That things won’t turn out this way I've got to focus on the positives And ignore the negatives Believe that everything will be ok And think happy thoughts to get me through the day

Bottled Up 03:44

Bottled Up Verse 1 It always starts with those little things That slowly makes a change Whether it comes across to be mean Still is increases everyday Pre-Chorus But that bubble grows bigger and bigger And then one day, it will stop Then everyone will move away from the bubble Because that bubble is gonna POP Chorus You shouldn’t keep things all bottled up inside Cause your feelings will mess with your mind You should let your emotions out Then you’d be happier now Verse 2 You see one put down can go so far If the person just lets it go It’s not a very good habit Coz one more pinch and it will blow Pre-Chorus Chorus Verse 3 It’s over now time to start again Just think about the choices you make So let your feelings out don’t keep it in And I hope you won’t make the same mistake

Hold onto your heart 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Hold Onto Your Heart Sometimes you may feel older than the skin you’re in, Feel like you don’t belong, Took someone to come and sweep me off my feet, To help me realize I could be wrong, Sometimes you may be unsure of what to do, Only certain that you can’t stay here, Look to the people around you, Help you will find there Chorus Hold onto your heart Hold it gently Never lose your spark And when times get hard Hold onto your heart Hold it when it’s heavy A burden it can be, but it’s a blessing to many Sometimes we seem to use for the wrong things, And forget that deep down, We all need some love and comforting, Not just a golden crown, Before you know everything adds up, And you may be stuck in a mess, But you must know that it’s still okay, One thing you can count on is that always heart’s change Chorus × 2 Hold onto your heart Hold it gently Never lose your spark And when times get hard Hold onto your heart Hold it when it’s heavy A burden it can be, but it’s a blessing to many

about

Hello everyone. Thank you for visiting this site and taking an interest in our music.

The sound for this album is a shift away from our previous projects. We've had the privilege of working with the very gifted and talented producer Joe Niko Jnr. Joe has a background in gospel, blues, RnB and classical which is reflected in this project. A big thank you to Joe for his commitment and creativity for this project.

Expectation is a flow on from our previous albums, the songs talk about relationships, friendships, love, family and self-reflection. Expectations talks about the expectations place on us by our family, friends, peers, work and environments and the pressure this sometimes can bring. The main message of the song is that it doesn't matter what the expectations of others are on us but rather the expectations we have of ourselves that ultimately matters.

As always our music is available for free download. However, if you also wish to give a donation you're most welcome to do so as well.

Kindest regards and wishing you much love and blessings,
Kashia, Salale & Koebi

Who are we?

I'm Kashia(17), I'm Salale(16) and I'm Koebi(11) Faumui. We are a vocal group who've been singing and performing together for the past three years. Predominately raised and influenced by gospel and acapella music from a young age. We've been classically trained in piano from the age of five and have extended our interest of musical instruments to guitar, bass, ukulele, trumpet and drums.

We developed our vocal ability to sing and harmonize through regular singing sessions around the guitar as little kids, and under the musical influences of our Samoan Dad and Polish Mum. The main reason why we do music is because we love it and while we may not have the most amazing voices or the most gifted musicians you've heard, but we can promise you our best every time we sing.
