Kiwi soul sister Emma Paki made her debut with Oxygen of Love in 1996, following 1993 hit single 'System Virtue'. The song earned the Whakatane-born singer-songwriter a hat-trick (Most Promising Female Vocalist, Best Song Writer and Best Video) at that year's NZ Music Awards and saw her play support for US songstress Sheryl Crow. The album also produced top five hit 'Greenstone' (produced by Neil Finn), and a nomination for Best Female Vocalist in 1994.
