	Hayley Westenra - Biography - AOL Music
		Westenra's voice is unusually suited to popular music because, unlike other classical singers, she doesn't resort to using vibrato technique.
		While critics have unfortunately compared her to Charlotte Church, Westenra's interpretive gifts lie in the same terrain as singers such as Kate Bush on one side (whose "Wuthering Heights" was Pure's first single) and Barbra Streisand on the other.
		After the runaway success of Pure, Westenra and her family moved to London, and she began nearly nonstop world touring in support of her album.

		Now, at 18, Hayley is ready to show the world how much she has grown up, both as an artist and as an individual.
		While Hayley has spent the past few years adding more strings to her bow, the various sonic strands are all unified once more by her distinctive vocal timbre and Giles Martin's sympathetic production.
		Three years after her international debut CD, Hayley Westenra is still pure: she exudes pure quality and she remains pure class – but her musical journey continues with her new album ODYSSEY.

		Hayley Westenra has an amazingly versatile voice and astounding technical skill, but some of the song choices on this album were better than others.
		Hayley has matured not only vocally, in age, but as an artist too and I feel this album has stretched her more and shows her trying to develop her own unique style - which in this current climate of crossover is very refreshing.
		Hayley doesn't try to immitate or be something she is not, she sings straight from the heart, and I feel she is best putting her mark on new songs rather than covering opera classics as her voice doesn't have the right texture for that as yet.

	CAMI :: Hayley Westenra :: Symphony Pops
		Hayley's self-titled debut recording for Universal New Zealand featured an eclectic mix of show music and classical pieces; it went straight in at No.1 in the pop charts (where it remained for four weeks), turned triple platinum and made Hayley the fastest-selling local artist in New Zealand's history.
		Hayley soon attracted the attention of the Decca Music Group in London who, in cooperation with Universal New Zealand, signed her to an international record deal.
		Hayley sees herself as primarily a classical performer, but she does not wish to put herself into a stylistic corner, and on PURE she explores the worlds of pop, traditional Maori choral singing, and gives a new freshnes to well-known classical repertoire.

		It's 1 o'clock on a Thursday afternoon, and Hayley Westenra is still in her pajamas, but not for the usual reasons that an 18-year-old girl would be in such a situation.
		Hayley was up late the night before, singing for an audience with the Ottawa Symphony.
		His was the first album Hayley ever bought, she recalls, and so she was understandably nervous when they first met three years ago ("It was at the Classical Brit Awards in London").

		She has impeccably clear diction coupled with a gorgeous voice with a very wide range: her high notes in the Kate Bush hit "Wuthering Heights" are especially striking, and like Bush she is also a dancer, having performed with the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
		Ultimately what this set does demonstrate is that whatever direction Westenra finally settles on, she has the ability to go to the very top.
		Westenra sticks close to her classical sound with songs like the delicate "In Trutina" and the traditional New Zealand song "Pokarekare Ana," which is rendered with the backing of a a rather muddled male chorus and some swelling strings.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Pure, Hayley Westenra, CD
		Listening to Hayley Westenra -- the angelic-voiced, 16-year-old New Zealander -- naturally brings to mind a certain other teenage vocal prodigy who made her mark singing a mix of classical, traditional, and popular songs.
		Westenra also tackles such traditional tunes as "Amazing Grace" and a pair of Maori songs, "Pokarekare Ana" (Come Back to Me) and "Hine e Hine" (Maiden, O Maiden), and brings other, more contemporary fare, such as "Who Painted the Moon Black?" and "Beat of Your Heart," into the blend as well.
		Hayley should get the credit she deserves because this album is truly amazing.

		When you're in the presence of beauty it's not something you have to think about.
		Whether it's aural or visual, or in Hayley Westenra's case both, you tingle with the feeling that your soul has been touched.
		You can pontificate about perfect pitch, analyse the cadence of every note, wax lyrical about the feast before you, but you know when people come along and say they love to listen to their CD every day that something special has been communicated.
