A FLINTSHIRE musician has written and performed the official song for the Women's World Cup.

Kelly Lee Owens, from Bagillt, was approached by FIFA - which wanted a woman to provide music for the tournament, which takes place in 2023.

The 33-year-old said she was inspired by choirs in her homeland, as well as the sounds of wildlife from host nations Australia and New Zealand.

It will accompany its advertising campaign and corporate branding.

"The tournament is taking place in New Zealand and Australia, so I took samples of the wagtail bird - which is native to Australia - and also some cicadas," Kelly told the BBC.

"I started off with percussion in that sense. From there I started to build up the whole track, in a sense the track wrote itself."

She said the layering of voices on top of her own give the track an "epic feel".

"Choirs bring a sense of community and in Wales that's very deep in our DNA so I introduced global choirs of all ages," she added.

"It's not just my voice, it's being held and carried by other voices which I feel brings something to it which is deeper than one person.

"And that's where we are at the moment with global events it - really matters that we come together in these times."

Kelly's rising stardom was recognised when she was recently handed a Welsh Music Prize for her album 'Inner Song'.
