Don McGlashan has done it again. The singer songwriter and leader of 'The Mutton Birds' and 'Blam Blam Blam' wrote a breathtaking gospel hit for Hollie Smith "Bathe In the River" a few years back and now he has written and produced "What Love Can Do" for the 'Matariki' soundtrack and this time it is 'Bella Kalolo and the GLCC Youth Choir' on vocal duties. Bella Kalolo has been providing vocals for a large number of NZ artists over the years... including 'Fat Freddy's Drop' so to a lot of people, her strong vocal performance here was no surprise at all. "What Love Can Do" is a prodigious Pasifika gospel number that bears all the hallmarks of the aforementioned song. The choir arrangements are fantastic... but the glue holding it all together is the ukulele.
