The project sees 25 Pacific artists come together to explore the themes of Moana through music, infusing the album with a diverse range of musical backgrounds and genres. Check out our exclusive sample of the track below:<\/p>\n<p>Artist Iam Tongi spoke about what inspired him to write the song alongside Paula Fuga.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>When Paula and I started writing this song, we immediately bonded over a childhood memory we shared of riding on our parents&#8217; shoulders as they carried us through the ocean waves. Like so many people, we&#8217;ve both experienced the loss of a parent, and that memory took on a whole new meaning. &#8216;In The Waves&#8217; is about finding comfort in those memories and how the ocean has a way of connecting us to the people we love, even after they&#8217;re gone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fuga was similarly effusive in praising the collaborative experience, adding that, &#8220;<em><strong>It was such an honor to collaborate on this project with Iam Tongi. I hope our song inspires love and wonder in all who listen.<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"more-about-moana-voices-across-the-ocean\">\n                        More About Moana: Voices Across The Ocean<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape mobile-optimized\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/iam-and-paula-working-on-moana-track.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Photo Credit: David Bradley, Soultrain Sound Studios Nashville&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/iam-and-paula-working-on-moana-track.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/iam-and-paula-working-on-moana-track.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/iam-and-paula-working-on-moana-track.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/iam-and-paula-working-on-moana-track.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/iam-and-paula-working-on-moana-track.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/iam-and-paula-working-on-moana-track.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Iam and Paula working on Moana: Voices Across the Ocean track\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/iam-and-paula-working-on-moana-track.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/iam-and-paula-working-on-moana-track.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">Iam and Paula working on Moana: Voices Across the Ocean track<\/figcaption><small class=\"body-img-caption\">Photo Credit: David Bradley, Soultrain Sound Studios Nashville<\/small><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Tongi and Fuga, pictured above, came together to craft the dulcet and uplifting track, and they are far from the only empowering pairing on the album.

As you\u2019ll hear, every artist delivers dynamic performances that represent multiple genres. Several of our Pasifika islands are represented and while emanating immense cultural pride, their artistry and sounds show that great music has always had the power to bring ALL people together.<\/p>\n<p>Disney proudly championed the intentions of this album, and to help us executive produce this soulful project, Lauren and I went to our family, our AIGA, Tiana Nonosina Liufau and Kayla Fa\u2018amaligi, who are deeply respected Polynesian practitioners in history, dance, and music. From there, our journey began.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The full track listing for <em>Moana: Voices Across The Ocean<\/em> is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1. &#8220;We Know The Way&#8221; &#8211; Performed
