"The Promise" was written specifically for the Hype Movement. Different issues in our community were embedded in the back of the mind of 676, however to make sure the right audience was targetted, the youth was the main focus. The first verse starts off with 676 - Neti Taumoepeau, and is symbolic of a parent or elder speaking to a child. The second verse of the song was recorded by her niece Abby Langi, (12 years old) and symbolizes the child's response, or the "promise" about to take place. In composing this song 676 wanted the lyrics to be something empowering for our young people. The chorus and the last bridge were all sung by the HYPE KIDS ranging in age from 5 - 13 years old which was a perfect touch and ending to the Hype song, "The Promise".
CHORUS:
This time I promise to
Give it my everything
My heart my strength
I'll give it all let nothing
Stand in my way

"The Promise"... HYPE song recording...
676 (Neti Taumoepeau wrote and composed a song for the HYPE MOVEMENT called The Promise which she plans to release as her first single of her upcoming album to be released in 2009. The Promise incorporates the voices of our young people as they promise to live their dreams and reach their greatest potential
It was a wonderful experience for all those who were involved. The young ones loved being able to go into the studio and record their parts and also get to listen to themselves afterwards. It was truly an empowering experience for them and for us!
The Bolonga Fungi film crew was also their to film the whole experience and also to conduct some interviews with the parents and children involved.
Stay tuned for the video...coming soon...
Many thanks to all who were part of making this possible! I am honored to share this journey with all of you!
'Ofa lahi atu!!!
