About Burnt Letters

Burnt Letters is the second studio album by Australian singer and songwriter Taylor Henderson, released on 11 July 2014 by Sony Music Australia. The album is Henderson's first to be made up of entirely original songs, as his previous self-titled debut album consisted of cover songs. Recorded over an eight-month period, Henderson worked on Burnt Letters with a variety of producers and writers such as Louis Schoorl, Alex Hope, Hayley Warner, Jon Hume, Robby De Sa and Lindsay Rimes. Described by the singer as "a very raw and open acoustic album", Burnt Letters incorporates styles of pop, folk and country music. Lyrically, the album's themes speak of "family, lost love and longing for home."Upon its release, Burnt Letters received generally favourable reviews from critics and became Henderson's second consecutive album to debut at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart. It was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association, denoting shipments of more than 35,000 units. The album was preceded by its first two singles, "When You Were Mine" and "Already Gone". The former became a top-five hit on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified platinum, while the latter only reached the top-fifty. Henderson promoted Burnt Letters with television performances and instore appearances. He also embarked on his third headlining concert tour, entitled the Burnt Letters Tour more »
