Hayley Westenra // Sleep On

Hayley Westenra
Pre-order Hushabye @ Amazon.co.uk | Pre-order Hushabye @ iTunes

It’s been almost 2 years since we last had an album from this New Zealander, but now she returns with something a little bit different. Her new album, Hushabye, due to be released later this year, is an album of lullabies, and the first offering off of this album is Sleep On, a song dedicated to the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge as yet unborn child.

Composed By Paul Mealor (who is also behind The Military Wives track Wherever You Are & who also composed for the Duke & Duchess’ wedding). It is short (but then so are most lullabies) but yet it’s a beautiful little number and Westenra’s voice is perfect for it and you could find yourself liking it even if you’re not a parent.

It’s an interesting single and an interesting concept of an album as it not something that you would probably expect. But we’re feeling….just a….little….zzzz….zzzz…..

Rating: 5/5
