Hiatus Kaiyote
Australia
With fiercely enigmatic singer-songwriter Nai Palm at the helm and influences as diverse as Stevie Wonder and Tupac Shakur, Hiatus Kaiyote’s kaleidoscopic future-soul sound is hard to pin down. Still relatively unknown in Australia, they’ve been receiving well-deserved accolades from Erykah Badu, Gilles Peterson, Jazzy Jeff and even Prince.
