"West Coast Drive" was released as a single on 9 September 2022,[2] a week after the Māori language version of "Cool It Down" was released for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.[5][6][7] A music video was shot for the song, and was filmed on West Coast Drive in Perth.[8]
Critical reception
Australian drummer and music reviewer Vince Leigh called the song a "soulful pop hybrid", praising the track as "slick and sophisticated, littered with bite-sized hooks and some decent heft in the drum department, and all augmented by a thoughtful, inventive approach".[9] Dave Ruby Howe of Triple J Unearthed gave the song a five-star review, calling the song a "summer anthem" with "vibes from tip to toe",[10] and Claire Mooney (also of Triple J) gave the song four and a half stars; calling it a "blissed out specialty".[11]
