Blastoma, Ngaiire's second album, landed on 10 June 2016, three years after her debut Lamentations, and its title is anything but abstract: blastoma is the form of cancer she fought early in life. Naming a record after that is a statement of intent, and the music backs it up, a slow-burning blend of R&B and future soul that treats her voice as the main event.
The Lae-born, Australia-based singer had come a long way by then, from jazz studies at university and a semi-final run on Australian Idol to session work with Blue King Brown and Paul Mac before she struck out on her own. "Once" went out ahead of the album, and the record went on to reach number 41 on the ARIA Charts.
