    The language Stan is speaking is Te Reo, which is the mother tongue of the Maori people from Aotearoa (Land Of The Long White Cloud) aka New Zealand, though Stan is a very strong and confident singer he is humble at heart, though his videos are awesome, his live performance is just as good, thank you for your reaction, maybe you should listen to Stans cover of Kanye West song Ultralight beam.

    Thank you for your reaction ❤ we love Stan. He had a concert in Hawaii last night. I love his LIVE performances.
    This song written for the Ava Duvernay movie Origin. I saw the movie a couple weeks ago and loved it. I hope he wins and Oscar for this song ❤

      It was my pleasure. Also, now that you've mentioned it, the song should have won an Oscar earlier this year. Maybe he'll win next year if that's possible.

      @@CompositionCritiques the song only was released in December and movie release was a couple.mobths ago so I'm hoping for next year's Oscars if that's possible?

    Thanks for your cool reaction! 😃 If you want to explore more of Stan, I recommend his most recent song 'Maori ki te Ao', which is a kind of companion song to 'I Am'. And as someone else mentioned, his cover of Kanye West's 'Ultralight Beam' - it's a classic. 😍Blessings to you.

    Superb reaction Zak ! Do we have another reactor down the Stan Walker rabbit hole ? There is a huge back-story surrounding this remarkable artist, from tragedy to triumph, and on to this work for the film ' Origin '. You know from the comments, some of his song titles, for me the standouts are ' Ultralight Beam ' and ' Don't Dream It' s Over ' by another very famous Kiwi, Neil Finn and' Crowded House ' While ' I Am ' is spectacular, ( Have a look at videos of the production of it, and the story of Stan' s relationship with the Writer / Director ), the great disappointment is that it was completely lost at the very end of the film, and not given the promenence it so richly deserved. It is, nevertheless, an amazing film !!

      Now that you've mentioned it, I might react to one of his covers soon and thanks for the compliment.
