Hosted on Rolling Stone AU/NZ for the third time, INTROS is back to introduce you to the best rising stars in New Zealand music.
Georgia Lines’ popular music web series, brought to you by Spark and Spotify, in partnership with Rolling Stone AU/NZ, and supported by the NZ Music Commission and APRA, sees the Kiwi pop star sitting down with her favourite female and non-binary artists for a relaxed kōrero.
Each episode focuses on the artist’s chosen song, delving into the story behind the song and the process of writing, before the artist treats viewers to a live performance.
Next up in season five is Kyla Greening a rising star in Aotearoa R&B and soul.
In episode two of the new season of INTROS, which you can watch above, Lines and Greening explore life and music in a thoughtful conversation. The latter also performs a stunning song for the host and viewers.
“She’s got so much soul and carries such a lightness that is so contagious,” Lines says. “Her music very much does what she hopes it would evoke with her listeners… ‘make you feel like a home cooked meal.'”

They discuss Greening’s time in an artist development programme at Parachute Studios, how she recovered from a vocal injury, what we thinks would be a helpful change in the music industry, and more.
Lines released her debut album, The Rose of Jericho, to wide acclaim in 2024. Rolling Stone AU/NZ gave it a four-star review, and The Rose of Jericho featured prominently in our 50 Best New Zealand Albums of 2024 list.
The Rose of Jericho earned the singer-songwriter four nominations at last year’s Aotearoa Music Awards, including for Album of the Year and Single of the Year (“The Letter”).
