Hushabye is the sixth international studio album by Christchurch, New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra. The album consists of lullabies and other gentle songs, and is intended to be a calming experience for both children and adults; Westenra sang closer to the microphone than normal in order to create an appropriate atmosphere.[1]

The fourth track on the album, "Sleep On", was composed by Paul Mealor with lyrics by Brendan Graham as a lullaby for the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby.[2][3] Westenra and her record company, Decca Records, will be giving away a copy of the album to every new parent in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand whose child was born on the same day as the royal baby.[4][5]
