By: Conor Sheeran May. 10, 2013
The Voice's season 2 contestant, Naia Kete, made an appearance on AfterBuzz TV's The Voice aftershow Monday night. In her appearance, Kete talks about her favorite contestants on this season, why she still performs on the streets and discusses her new EP.
Naia on The Voice's Battle Round paring and song choice:
"For us we literally found out who our pair was, found out what the song was and then within an hour or something we were in the rehearsal..."
Naia on Sasha's performance:
"I felt like [Sasha] was singing it to her husband...It was just like I felt like she saw him standing right in front of her and she was just like expressing all of that love."
Naia on Midas Whale's performance:
"I thought it was interesting. I thought that it was a cool... It was a different version of the song which I really appreciated and respect as an artist you know. I just felt for the knockouts it's such a critical moment in the competition you really have to lay it all out there and I think maybe they relied to heavily on their arrangement of the song and vocally just nothing really happened or really jumped out at me."
Naia on her new E.P. "Fire Breather":
"I'm super excited about [Fire Breather]. I wrote a track on it with Colbie Caillat, so she's singing back up on it which is super awesome!"
Naia on why she still performs on the Third Street Promenade:
"I feel like if music is something you wanna do and it's something you're passion about, you do anything and everything you can to make it happen. And if I'm not out on the road I'm on the streets."
Naia on the inspiration behind her new single "Crazy Glue":
"There's a man in my life..we were together for 5 years and we're kind of on a break as it were right not but he's still very prominent in my life. It's just the kind of thing where if you have real love for someone you stick to them no matter what!"
Naia on her sound:
"I think of myself as kind of this...like a jazzy, pop, reggae, artist...I try and be as positive as possible in my music!"
