There are previous and Hayley's Amazing Grace is a new recording. And the most beautiful one so far by the sound of it! It has a very live sound to it.
The lead song Sing is very good too! I'll certainly be getting this. Looking forward to it.

I REALLY like this new Amazing Grace! Reminds me a lot of the one she performed at Chch. The lead song is also pretty cool.

Perhaps there will be bagpipes? Was it the ChCh version of Amazing Grace that Hayley had to sing so low because bagpipes can only be played in one key?

Hello Jillian!
The link you posted wouldn't work for me, so I changed it to one that does. I'll definitely buy this EP.

This is absolutely spot on! The right songs, the right artists. All three solo singers (except Gary Barlow) are ones I've seen live, and I can't imagine how it could have been done better. And my daughter is a huge Take That fan, so i could even imagine her buying this. Well done Gary Barlow!
This is a must buy.

Hey Jillian! No, I meant the one for the earthquake last year. But when I listen to that version on HW, I kind of wonder how she'd do in that key now. I'll have to try and get this one to add to my EXTREMELY small Hayley collection.

Hi everyone,
This is excellent news and I agree, this is an excellent recording of Amazing Grace and possibly the best recording of it... ever. Hayley's performance in Christchurch last year being its only rival, for me.
The mini album/EP, whatever it is, is currently no. 3 on Amazon UK - and it was only announced less than 24 hours ago!
I too will buy this, which could be the biggest UK hit that Hayley has ever had a major role in. It is quite a coup for her, being on this album and featured on one of the stand-out tracks.
Cheers, Dave
