In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Every summer, my family drove to the same Cornish town. My earliest musical memory is James Taylor's Sweet Baby James playing as we sang through the West Country. Those road trips shaped my love of music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Burt Bacharach, What the World Needs Now: Burt Bacharach Classics Carole King, Tapestry James Taylor, James Taylor: Greatest Hits I chose these because they shaped how I hear and write music. James Taylor feels like home, Tapestry is flawless songwriting, and Burt Bacharach's orchestral pop made me fall in love with timeless arrangements. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Home” Home is special because it's one of the first songs I ever wrote, in my tiny student bedroom in Liverpool while feeling homesick. It opened so many doors, and the video, with my whole family and my late nan, makes it even more meaningful.
