Release our love
As a proud Cantabrian and New Zealander, I was deeply shocked and saddened—like so many around the world—by the tragic events that unfolded in Christchurch on Friday, 15 March 2019.
In response to that heartbreaking day, I wrote a song titled RELEASE OUR LOVE as a tribute to the innocent lives lost, the survivors, and their families. It was my way of offering love, healing, and solidarity through music.
We must keep the conversations alive and continue to move forward—stronger, more united, and more compassionate—so that we never forget and always honour those we lost.
Thank you to my incredible team who gave their time to help make this possible; Musical Arranger David Sidwell, Musical Director & pianist Richard Marrett, singers Frankie Leota & the Cobham Intermediate Chorale with Josh Ratulomai, Thom O’Connor & Michael Bell at Orange Studios, Tane Hipango, Philippa Chilvers, Tanemahuta Gray, Jennifer Ward-Lealand & Peter Rattray.
