Julian Lennon is a modern-day Renaissance man — a singer-songwriter and musician, actor, documentary film producer, philanthropist, and, as of late, fine-art photographer. Beloved by fans around the world for his beautifully crafted, melody-minded albums, Lennon will release his sixth solo album, the self-produced Everything Changes, in the UK on October 3rd, 2011, through British independent label Conehead. He also continues to pursue his love of photography, encouraged by the success of his first-ever exhibition, Timeless, which took place in New York City in 2010.
Born in Liverpool to late Beatle John Lennon and Cynthia Powell, Lennon was given his first guitar by his father at age 11 and formed his first band at age 13 with school friend Justin Clayton, who has since played on each of Lennon’s albums. “Justin and I spent all our time learning the classic rock and roll songs, like ‘Roll Over Beethoven,’ Lennon recalls. “As I got older, I began to listen to the Beatles more carefully and became fascinated by the intelligence that went into their songwriting — the arrangements, melodies, and lyrics, which was great as I began to write my own songs. Crafting a great song is always my final goal.”
Produced by Lennon and Grant Ransom and performed by his long-time friends (including Justin Clayton, Gregory Darling, and Guy Pratt), Everything Changes is a showcase for Lennon’s deeply reflective lyrics, memorable melodies, and multi-instrumentalist talents (he played piano, guitar, bass, Wurlitzer, and drums on the album, and programmed the strings and keyboards). “I was inspired by hanging around with this group of musicians and playing off of them,” he says. “I think the album is a bit more free-flowing than my previous work and it’s my favorite so far.”
