Hushabye (album)

Hushabye is the sixth international studio album by Christchurch, New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra. The album consists of lullabies and other gentle songs, and is intended to be a calming experience for both children and adults; Westenra notes that she intentionally sang closer to the microphone than normal when recording the album, in order to create an appropriate atmosphere.

The fourth track on the album, "Sleep On", was composed by Paul Mealor with lyrics by Brendan Graham as a lullaby for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby. Westenra and her record company, Decca Records, will be giving away a copy of the album to every new parent in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand whose child was born on the same day as the royal baby.
