Most people recognize 'Game of Love" by Clint Ballard Jr as the number 1 USA hit for Wayne Fontana and the Mind Benders in the 60's, but it was also a number 1 hit for New Zealand singer Tex Pistol in 1987 and its status as a New Zealand anthem is explored in a new television series called Anthems: New Zealand’s Iconic Hits.

Produced by Prime TV, Anthems: New Zealand’s Iconic Hits tells the stories of many of New Zealand’s iconic songs, with influential musicians and industry professionals sharing their behind-the-scenes take on the art of making music in Aotearoa. The five-part series provides unprecedented access to our beloved songwriters, celebrating the vibrant stories behind the Kiwi hits they have created.  

GRISSE is the latest production from HBO Asia. Set in the mid-1800s during the colonial era of what was known as the Dutch East Indies, it follows a group who launch a rebellion against a brutal governor and suddenly find themselves in control of a Dutch garrison town called GRISSE.

The soundtrack is composed by Chee Wei Tay, Yudhi Arfani and Zeke Khaseli. Represented by Fable Music.
