New Zealanders have been accused of not rushing to express their feelings. Made for TV One's Work of Art slot, this collection of 10 classic love songs offers striking evidence to the contrary. A roll call of song-writers and musicians talk candidly about love and putting it into song. Each performs a classic song they're closely identified with, from Ruru Karaitiana's 'Blue Smoke' (performed here by Jackie Clarke) to John Rowles' 'Cheryl Moana Marie', to stripped back versions of 'I See Red' and Bic Runga's 'Sway'. The result shines a light on love, Kiwi-style — and offers a fascinating survey of Kiwi pop music across half a century.
