Songs from the Novel 'Greatest Hits'

Songs from the Novel 'Greatest Hits' is the 14th studio album by British singer-songwriter, Kathryn Williams and a collaboration with the novelist Laura Barnett based on her second novel Greatest Hits.

[1] The project was conceived from Barnett's interest in Williams' Hypoxia album centred on Sylvia Plath's 'The Bell Jar' novel and her concept of her own novel having a soundtrack of the protagonist, Cass Wheeler's music.

[2] Williams wrote the music to the 16 sets of lyrics in the novel Barnett uses to illustrate the events in Cass' life that bookend each chapter [3] along with producer Romeo Stodart .

The album and book were released simultaneously with The Irish Times suggesting the album ran 'gamut of emotions and musical styles from pastoral playfulness to jagged edged brittleness' [4] Notes
