Pure is the first internationally published album by Hayley Westenra. Her other previous albums were released only in New Zealand and nearby Australia. This album also received professional consultation form the legendary Sir George Martin who helped to create its "unique appeal". In 2004, it was the highest selling New Zealand Album and so it privileged Hayley with an award from the New Zealand Music Awards of 2004. It was published by the Decca Music Group label in 2003. It was distributed in the United States by Universal Classics in 2004. During its first week of sales it sold 19,068 copies. Pure contains a diverse selection of songs, including renditions of "Who Painted the Moon Black?", "Hine e Hine" (a song of the Māori, the natives of New Zealand), "In Trutina", from Orff's Carmina Burana, "Wuthering Heights" (the premiere hit in the long career of Kate Bush), and the perennial spiritual classic "Amazing Grace". Also on the album is Pokarekare Ana, a New Zealand love song which has enduring popularity. Additionally, Pure was recorded at Air Lyndhurst, Eastcote Studios, London, England.
