Hayley Westenra

I love Hayley Westenra and was pleased to have an excuse to listen to an album dedicated entirely to children's songs, particularly lullabies. Westenra's voice is outstanding no matter what she sings, but I admit to being a little disappointed in August when I found out that her newest album was meant for children and had avoided it until now. I am glad I listened to it, and though I probably won't be adding all the songs to my regular playlist I think it would be great for parents with show more babies or very young children. An excellent set of songs sung beautifully in a way that will appeal to all ages while still serving it's purpose as nap time background music. show less

It's a breath of fresh air to see a biography about a current female "star" which is not full of saucy details about the artist private life, but with full of inspirational thoughts for a young musician or singer.

A charming, in some places a bit a naïve and funny account of Hayley's passion for singing and the somewhat fairytale story of her success and encounters with some famous and infamous people.(The story of meeting with Charlotte Church is just so spot on!)
