NEW CD, NEW IMAGE FOR HAYLEY

Christchurch's international singing star, Hayley Westenra, has released details of her new album.
The disc, to be called Odyssey, features a duet with Andrea Bocelli, with whom she performed in New Zealand last year, and her first songwriting credit.
Odyssey is Westenra's second international release and the fifth album of the teenager's career.
The album title -- and a resultant change to a more adult image -- was inspired by Westenra's recent 18th birthday.
"The whole idea was that she was older, more mature and moving on into her adult career," said Gerhard Simanke, head of promotions at Westenra's New Zealand record company, Universal Music.
The photography on Odyssey is by Kevin Westenberg, who has worked with U2 and Coldplay.
Pure, Westenra's first international release, is the biggest- selling New Zealand album of all time, with 175,000 copies sold.
"I was happy with Pure at the time, but I've moved on so much," Westenra said. "It's really exciting to have something new out there for people to listen to. I wanted to make a record that represented me as a person, and I think I've improved as a vocalist."
Odyssey reunites Westenra with producer Giles Martin, son of Beatles producer Sir George Martin.
On the album's 12 tracks, the backing music ranges from solo acoustic guitar to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It varies in style from classical music -- a traditional Ave Maria -- to a cover of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now, and May It Be, a song from The Lord of the Rings films.
The album contains Westenra's first songwriting credit -- for co- writing What You Never Know (Won't Hurt You) with Canadian songwriter Stephan Moccio, who has written songs for Celine Dion.
Westenra also arranged several of the songs on Odyssey.
"I like to push myself, and I'm now confident enough to try different things," she said. "I have been much more involved behind the scenes with this album. I wanted to put my individual stamp on each song."
Odyssey will be released in New Zealand on August 8.
Westenra is planning a world tour this year that will include New Zealand concert dates.
