Whatever happened to Charlotte Church, eh? One minute she was a virginal schoolgirl with a heavenly voice and a wise head on her shoulders and all of a sudden, she's singing patchy pop songs with her cleavage up round her face and appearing in Heat every week. Thankfully there seems little chance of that happening to fellow opera chick Hayley Westenra, who follows up her multi-million selling Pure with this new album.

Now 18 and having sung for the likes of the Queen, George Dubya and Tony Blair, she has a bit more worldliness about her, but there's no hint of a Crazy Chick here.

That's not to say that it's all straight-forward classical music, after all one of Pure's highlights was a cover of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights. Westenra has even co-written a song on Odyssey which is actually the best thing on it, a lovely ballad called What You Never Know (Won't Hurt You), while she also covers Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now.

However, there is ironically rather more in the way of classical and opera music on here, most notably a gorgeous duet (albeit recorded separately) with Andrea Bocelli on Dell' Amore Non Si Sa. She also covers Enya's May It Be from Lord Of The Rings as well as including her own Bridal Ballad from last year's Merchant Of Venice film, despite the fact that it was included on the special edition of Pure.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra back her up on many of the tracks, most notably Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro, from Gianni Schicchi. While it's hardly an original choice, her voice sends you drifting off into another world. Mozart's Laudate Dominum is again a fairly predictable selection, but again she manages to blow the cobwebs away, particularly when the Conventus Choir join in halfway through.

She finishes off with Dido's Lament, which is not a tale of the woes of a certain popstar, but is another lovely song.At 16 tracks, it might be a little overlong and there's nothing on here to match Pokarekara Ana for sheer breathtaking beauty, but Hayley Westenra has shrugged off any hint of pressure on her to follow up Pure and Odyssey is a fine album indeed. The only real concern is that she thanks the Bedingfields in the credits, shuddder...
