RIANZ chief executive, Campbell Smith, commented that the awards once again showcased the great wealth of New Zealand music talent. "Our artists and our industry produced a wide and diverse range of music in 2009 that again undeniably shows just how creative and talented our musicians are. Ladyhawke is a terrific artist and her debut album is an incredibly strong record. To see an album scoop six awards is rare, but an outstanding work such as hers is worthy of all the plaudits that it has received."
