Book of Your Heart mixes Lauren’s originals, Kate’s originals, and our co-writes, with full collaboration and input from both of us on all of it. We’re very proud of it and very excited for you to hear it!

We thank you for purchasing our music at this “support the artist” price.

A note from Kate

If you’ve ever wanted a recording of “What did the wind say?” here it is! In January 2020, Lauren invited me and a host of other musicians to join her in Berklee’s premier studio, The Ark, to create recordings of two of her songs. One afternoon there was some time left over and she very generously offered me the chance to record something in that world-class studio. I sat at the gorgeous Bosendorfer piano and played and sang “What did the wind say?” Lauren, Mike Bishop, Mary Ramsey Douyard, and Leah Bluestein gathered around a single mic and improvised harmonies. When Leanne played it back to us, I cried tears of joy.

Finally, it has been years since I’ve released an album of original songs with full instrumentation and I’m deeply grateful to Lauren for her technical wizardry, encouragement, and beautiful artistry which have brought this project to life.
