Stolen Hill is the second studio album by New Zealand recording artist Anika Moa, it was released on 1 August 2005 by Warner Music NZ. The album was certified gold and has sold over 7,500 copies.

Background

Anika Moa said that the album contrasts with her debut, Thinking Room; "Stolen Hill is not as over-produced; more sparse, more feeling, more family-like, more Māori, more me...[it] is just me growing up".[1]

The title track of the album relates to the poor treatment of Māori during the New Zealand land wars.[1]

Promotion and reception

In September 2005, Moa announced twenty-two shows in a nationwide album tour in October that year, two months after the albums's release.[2]

Grant Smithies of The Sunday Star-Times gave Stolen Hill four stars, calling it "poignant and original",[2] while Russell Baillie of The New Zealand Herald gave it only three stars, criticising several songs' "unlikely marriage of style and subject," and called it an album of "oddball character."[3]

Nick Bollinger from New Zealand Listener said "Stolen Hill finds Moa maturing and discovering her own sound, but it feels like a work in progress. Although full of charm and unmistakable in its locale, the styles Moa toys with sometimes appear borrowed; as if she is trying them on and still making up her mind which ones fit her best."[4]
