Dear God by Tree

Dear God by Tree

Tree is based in Sth Auckland where the rhythms of Samoa pulsed through her viens long before she ever picked up a microphone.  Born into a tight-knit family whose faith was as unshakeable as their love for song, she grew up surrounded by hymns. By age 7, Tree was standing behind the church pulpit, her small frame unbowed as she poured every ounce of belief into Gospel hymns.

Her self-titled album in 2019 marked a turning point - earning her the Best Pacific Album Tui Award in 2020 and signaling the arrival of a true force in NZ music.

In this song the children are speaking the Lord's Prayer in Samoan.
