A covers album consisting almost entirely of Aotearoa's most beloved and iconic songs? A daunting ask that runs the risk of going very karaoke very quickly.
Even more so when you consider that two of the record's three vocalists are actors and these performances are all intended to accompany the local musical, Daffodils, which is in cinemas now.
So it's to their eternal credit that the film's stars Rose McIver and George Mason do a bang-up job here of taking on some of our classic tunes.
They're backed up by the Silver Scroll winning duo LIPS, who handled all the music and production duties, as well as local Grammy winner Kimbra, whose brilliant voice, sheer class and force of personality can't help but steal the show every time she opens her mouth.
She's at her finest on the idiosyncratic pop of What the Hell, one of two original songs LIPS penned for the album. This supercharged blast of synth-pop allows Kimbra to cut loose and lean into the quirk of her actual artist persona to terrific effect.
