Katchafire Announce Collab with Kolohe Kai On Colour Me Life Single
“Katchafire is without a doubt my favourite reggae band of all time. All through High School we’d spend almost every day singing songs like Seriously, Get Away and Meant To Be. To have the honour to be a part of a remake of Colour Me Life twenty years later is beyond anything my childhood musical dreams could’ve come up with. Mahalo to Katchafire for having me on this!” - Kolohe Kai
Katchafire announce their next single to be lifted from their forthcoming Revival 2.0 Guest Edition album, releasing Colour Me Life with Hawaii’s Kolohe Kai, out on June 5. The Revival 2.0 Guest Edition album is slated for release on November 27.
“Katchafire is without a doubt my favourite reggae band of all time. All through High School we’d spend almost every day singing songs like Seriously, Get Away and Meant To Be. To have the honour to be a part of a remake of Colour Me Life twenty years later is beyond anything my childhood musical dreams could’ve come up with. Mahalo to Katchafire for having me on this!”, Kolohe Kai said.

Revival 2.0 Guest Edition ALBUM out 27 November 2026 / Pre-save https://onerpm.link/revival2guests
“After three decades of collaborating with some of the best in the business, Katchafire are back with a special album. First released in 2003, Revival showcased the band’s easy-listening roots reggae, nodding to R&B and jazz through comprehensive instrumentals and soulful vocals, putting forward a fresh sound that appealed to New Zealand listeners.
It was the debut album that marked the beginning of a decades-long journey for Katchafire, who show no signs of slowing down with the band now spanning across three generations of whānau.
The record was certified platinum within a few months and went on to have a resurgence two decades later, re-entering the charts in 2023 and ranking among Aotearoa’s top 10 most popular albums by New Zealand artists that year. The popularity of Revival has also remained strong not just with Kiwi audiences but with fans around the world.” – Rolling Stone Magazine, 18 May 2026
