Caylee Hammack set to launch romance novel ‘Bed of Roses’ alongside upcoming album
Caylee Hammack has announced the release of a romance novel titled ‘Bed of Roses’ to complement her upcoming album of the same name, offering a unique storytelling experience for fans. Scheduled to debut on March 7, the book chronicles the journey of a young woman as she navigates self-discovery and unexpected romance, echoing the underlying themes in Hammack’s music. Co-authored by Hammack and New York Times best-selling writer Carolyn Brown, ‘Bed of Roses’ is a collaboration with Podium Entertainment, where each chapter corresponds with a song title from the album, drawing inspiration from Hammack’s personal experiences that have influenced her artistry. Fans have the option to pre-order various formats of the novel – print book, ebook, and audiobook – as well as the accompanying album.
Hammack shared her inspiration behind the creation of the novel, revealing that her childhood exposure to romance novels from her aunt’s collection cultivated her love for storytelling. She considered each song on the album as a narrative and therefore delved into crafting a book to complement the musical endeavour. The book serves as a bridge between the heartbreak ballads and love songs featured on the album, allowing Hammack to delve deeper into the emotional intricacies behind the tracks, culminating in a rich tapestry of storytelling. Emphasizing the thematic significance, Hammack emphasizes, “Life is the bed you make, grow a good one.”
In addition to the novel, Hammack is eagerly preparing for the release of her highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘Bed of Roses,’ set to launch alongside the book. Comprising 13 tracks, the album unfolds the story of a young woman in her twenties navigating the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. Melding influences encompassing gypsy soul, ’70s twang, and red-dirt rock, the album embarks on a visceral, emotional odyssey. Hammack, who shares producer credits with industry stalwarts Dann Huff and John Osborne, aims to deliver a compelling blend of authenticity and dynamism through her music.
Providing a glimpse into the forthcoming album, Hammack has unveiled a new song titled ‘How Long,’ characterized by its soulful, contemplative essence capturing the poignant anticipation of love’s evolution. Fans can already listen to the track and watch its accompanying music video. The album’s tracklist boasts an array of emotive titles ranging from ‘Breaking Dishes’ to ‘Bread & Butter,’ signaling a narrative that promises to resonate with audiences on a personal level.
With both a novel and an album on the horizon, Hammack is poised to offer a captivating cross-media experience that interlaces music and literature seamlessly. As fans await the dual release of ‘Bed of Roses,’ they can anticipate immersing themselves in a multi-dimensional storytelling journey curated by the talented artist.
