Sand, a tune co-written by Angie Hart and Ben Lee five years ago, is due to appear in Australian filmmaker Nash Edgerton’s THE SQUARE, according to and Undercover article recently published. Edgerton approached Lee to score the film.

As vocalist with Frente, Splended, Holidays On Ice and now as solo performer, Angie’s distinctly gorgeous voice has often been imitated but never been bettered.
When the Transport Accident Commission needed a singular, evocative voice to soundtrack their emotionally weighted campaign highlighting the hidden victims of speeding, Angie Hart was the A three minute ad featuring Angie’s version of Pictures of You screened for three weeks early this year and had an unprecedented impact. The Pictures of You TAC campaign emphasises the deep emotional scars that speeding leaves on our community. Ten ordinary Victorian families volunteered to share their hearts and stories for one reason; they didn’t want anyone to endure the pain their families have experienced.
