Hayley Westenra - Pokarekare Ana Across The Universe Of Time

Review by Kevin Erik Muico

Hayley Westenra's album Pokarekare Ana Across The Universe Of Time is a beautiful collection of traditional Maori songs and contemporary compositions. The album showcases Westenra's angelic voice and her ability to effortlessly transition between different genres of music.

The album opens with the title track, "Pokarekare Ana," a hauntingly beautiful love song that is sure to leave listeners mesmerized. Westenra's rendition of "Hine E Hine" is equally captivating, as she infuses the classic Maori lullaby with her own unique style.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Wuthering Heights," a stunning cover of Kate Bush's iconic song, and "Both Sides Now," a poignant ballad that showcases Westenra's emotional depth and range.
