The Polynesian reggae artist George Veikoso, who performs as Fiji, was born in his namesake country but moved to Hawaii as a teen, which explains the title of his latest project 50th State of Mind. The jam-packed two-disc collection is a kind of retrospective, looking back at his 25-year career and sprinkled with some previously unreleased and new material. With a foot planted in both Fijian and Hawaiian culture, Fiji has nurtured a dedicated following with his idiosyncratic and mellow sound, which blends love songs with island chants. It’s all exactly what you might need in the middle of a gray February.
