The Wai Ki Ki Island Orchestra's album, Relax With Blue Hawaii, is a soothing and tranquil collection of Hawaiian-inspired melodies. From the opening track, "Blue Hawaii," to the closing notes of "Aloha Oe," the listener is transported to a tropical paradise, where the sun is shining, and the waves are crashing on the shore.
The instrumentation is expertly performed, with the ukelele, guitar, and steel drums all blending beautifully together. The vocals are also a standout feature, with the harmonies on tracks like "Pearly Shells" and "Hawaiian War Chant" adding an extra layer of depth and richness to the music.
What sets this album apart from other Hawaiian music collections is the sense of relaxation and calm that permeates every track. It's impossible not to feel at ease while listening to "Sweet Leilani" or "Beyond the Reef."
