Let’s Sing might not have the same name recognition or impact as the likes of SingStar, but it’s been quietly moving in on the karaoke rhythm game scene for a few years now. Multi-platform releases have been a particular focus, and that continues with Let’s Sing 2023 (the “only karaoke game on Gen 9 consoles”), but the latest iteration is also trying something a little different: a special version for Australia and New Zealand with its own song list and cover stars, aptly titled Let’s Sing 2023 with Hits from Australia and New Zealand.
Australian singers Amy Shark and Tones and I grace the cover of the local release, and while the bulk of the song list mirrors that of the international release, there are a few key changes to ensure a decent showing of New Zealand and Australian artists: Delta Goodrem, Lorde, Dami Im, L.A.B., and Dean Lewis, to name just a few. It’s also a slightly larger list, with 35 songs in the Austalia/New Zealand version of Let’s Sing 2023, as opposed to 30 in the international one. The trade off is missing out on Carl Douglas’ timeless “Kung Fu Fighting” (among a few others), but them’s the breaks, I guess.
