Nadia Reid has released the video for The Arrow and The Aim.

The track is from her upcoming album Preservation, due next month.

The video, which stars Chris Parker and was directed by Julian Vares, was shot in an abandoned house surrounded by stunning landscapes at Mt Somers, near Christchurch.

Reid says: "I guess there's a lot left to the imagination with the video. I like that. The song is about reaching the very end of a relationship".

New Zealand singer-songwriter Thomas Oliver has announced a new single and album.

Shine Like The Sun, released today, comes from Oliver's second studio album, Floating In The Darkness, due April 28.

The single features Louis Baker on backing vocals and guitar, and a cockle-warming combination of horns, Hammond organ and woodwind in a late summer feel-good jam.

Oliver last year won the Silver Scroll for his track If I Move To Mars, which will also feature on the new album.

Christchurch rockers Decades, who made a mark last year with the songs Terrified and If It Kills Me, have a new single.

I Was With Him explores the "turbulent emotions we endure when traversing the world of heartbreak, betrayal, and romantic destiny."

Singer Emma Cameron says it's not a song about heartless cheating. "This is a song about excruciatingly painful matters of the heart, where no one gets out without wounds, but ultimately, will all be better off for it".

Decades have toured with Villainy and have been working on their debut album with Shihad's Tom Larkin. It's due this year.

The musicians behind the uber-catchy 2013 hit Stolen Dance are set to visit New Zealand for a show at Auckland's Powerstation.

Milky Chance, a German dance-folk duo, will bring their world tour to our biggest city on April 26 after the release of their second album Blossom next month.

The pair have a new single, Doing Good, the follow-up to Cocoon, released late last year.
