Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine are set to release their latest album, ‘Things Found in Books,’. This project is the result of a collaboration between two acclaimed musicians, each known for their significant contributions to songwriting and performance.
Yvonne Lyon is a UK-based singer-songwriter celebrated for her poignant lyrics and captivating melodies. With a robust discography, her work has been frequently highlighted on major platforms such as BBC Radio 2. Boo Hewerdine, who has achieved critical acclaim and an Ivor Novello Award nomination, adds his distinctive songwriting expertise to this partnership. His past works include notable collaborations with artists like Eddi Reader.
The inspiration for ‘Things Found in Books’ originates from a second-hand bookshop at Scotland’s Culzean Castle, where Lyon discovered a noticeboard featuring various items like notes, photographs, and postcards found in the pages of old books. These artifacts served as the creative spark for the album, prompting a deep exploration of the stories and emotions they evoke.
Together, Lyon and Hewerdine crafted an album that transforms these forgotten remnants into new narratives through music. The project seeks to capture the universal themes of nostalgia, memory, and human connection.
‘Things Found in Books’ promises to offer listeners a collection of thoughtfully composed songs, inviting them to explore the timeless tales embedded within each track.
