She Will Have Her Way is a compilation album featuring female Australian and New Zealand musicians performing songs written by Neil Finn and Tim Finn (The Finn Brothers), members of Split Enz and Crowded House. A follow up album, He Will Have His Way, featuring male artists, was released in 2010.

Album background

The album takes its name from Neil Finn's single "She Will Have Her Way" from Try Whistling This, however the song does not appear on this album, nor does any other from Neil Finn's solo career. The album is a mixture of songs previously recorded for prior releases (such as "Better Be Home Soon") and some recorded specifically for the project ("Distant Sun," "Fall at Your Feet," "Stuff and Nonsense" etc.).

A special edition of the album was released with a second disc containing all of the original versions of the songs remastered. Its cover was slightly redesigned with a pale blue instead of a dark blue background and subtle added background elements.

Charts and certifications

She Will Have Her Way peaked at #3 on the Australian Albums Chart and reached #4 in New Zealand. In total, it spent 15 weeks in the Australian top 40.[1]

Differences to original versions

Some songs have distinct differences to the original versions, while some maintain the general feel of the original.
