On her debut, Hayley Westenra, a 16-year-old singing sensation from New Zealand, endures the inevitable comparisons to Charlotte Church, but it's the impression she's made that's placed her in such lofty company.
And not many fledgling artists can boast of having the legendary George Martin contribute songs and arrangements to their album.
PURE might be the best description of her singing--crystal clear and devoid of mannerisms.
It's not simply the beauty of her voice that impresses, however, but how effectively she uses it.
