}} ''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. ==Background and development== 〕}} ''Burnt Letters'' is the follow-up to Henderson's self-titled debut album, which featured re-recorded covers of the selected songs he performed as a finalist on ''The X Factor Australia''. During an interview with Renowned for Sound in March 2014, Henderson confirmed that he had already begun work on ''Burnt Letters'', stating: "I'm really proud of everything I've written for it so far. I think I've taken some risks with some of the songs, but everything has a lot of soul and depth." He later told Girl.com.au that the songs he wrote years ago were also being recorded for the album.〔 Henderson worked on ''Burnt Letters'' for eight months with several record producers and songwriters, including Louis Schoorl, Jon Hume, Alex Hope and Lindsay Rimes, among others. After writing new songs for the album, Henderson presented them to Sony Music Australia and received good feedback from the label.〔 He said "they were really impressed with the way I could carry a song and tell a story." Despite his music not being typical pop, Henderson revealed that Sony did not interfere with his "songwriting processes or tone" for ''Burnt Letters'', admitting that the album is exactly the way he wanted it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burnt Letters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
