In case you didn’t know, it’s the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. And maybe it’s fitting that New Zealander and Classical Crossover artist Hayley Westenra gets to sing this, especially with it being her 10th anniversary in the business and it being her home country hosting the event.
The melody will be familiar to everyone as it is Holts’ Jupiter. There’s two versions on the single. An English version and a Maori version. There is a third version available on the Rugby World Cup album which is a mix of both versions. The lyrics could not be more appropriate for an event and Westenra’s delicate vocals deliver with feeling, no matter the language that it is sung in.
A highly recommended purchase, whether a rugby fan or a fan of Hayley’s!
Rating 5/5
