Neutralize It is a 2000 album by Hawaiian singer/guitarist/songwriter Sean Na'auao. It is uncertain what "it" refers to but maybe it is on this album, which is known for one of the final statements of Hawwaiian music of the 20th century, the beautiful "Ka Pilina". This was released by the Poi Pounder label on 22 August, 2000.

Sean Na'auao has had incredible success in Hawai'i as a solo artist, since leaving the group Mana'o Company. Na'auao (nah-ow'ow) is known for his style of Jawaiian music, which is reggae ("Jamaica") mixed in with the island flavor ("Hawaiian"). Fans knew of his talents as a singer and musician, and wanted him to do a few things "old style". For this album, he decided to please both sides of his audiences by creating an album that combines contemporary Hawaiian music with the traditional.
On the English side, you have "Hawaiian", "Love", "Sandy Beach" and the very funny "Lu'au Feet". On the Hawaiian side, you have "Ka'ililaukekoa", "Pua Lililehua", and one of the most beautiful Hawaiian songs written in recent years, "Ka Pilina". It's a nice balance for everyone.

Produced by Sean Na'auao
Sean Na'auao has taken a big step forward and the result is his best and most impressive album ever. The title track is one of several that conveys the theme of embracing new ideas while remembering one's heritage.
Reggae icon Bob Marley used his music as a conduit for political and cultural education, and with a little luck Na'auao's strong new local reggae songs with have similar impact as local reggae funs absorb the messages will enjoying the rhythms they love.
Traditionalists will applaud Na'auao's falsetto and treatment of several Hawaiian-language songs, including Queen Lili'uokalani's "He Inoa No Ka'iulani" and two beautiful new songs by Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett.
And then there is his imaginative working of Marley's classic "Three Little Birds" as a predominantly a capella number. This is obviously one of the best local remakes of the year.
Na'auao and his wife, Kau'i, prove themselves a talented song-writing team whether writing of love or addressing social issues with "Living the Fast Life."
The couple gets an assist from local sportscaster and musician Robert Kekaula, who plays a hapless Hawaiian with extremely large and smelly feet in "Lu'au Feet." The song is a novelty that kids will love and more mature minds will find gross, but it has a catchy arrangement.
The order of the songs reinforces the disc's message. Na'auao opens with an oli by Hewett, which segues into "Hawaiian," a reggae-beat anthem advising Hawaiians to "remember who you are/remember where you came from." He closes by going almost full-circle with "Sandy Beach," an original song that celebrates a contemporary Hawaiian lifestyle, followed by a beautiful rendition of "Pua Lilileluha," a Hawaiian-language classic by Mary Kawena Pukui and Kahauanu Lake.
