Sometimes the best creative breakthroughs are born through approaching your art from a different angle. A fresh perspective works wonders, and occasionally the best way to find one is by adding constraints to a project and treating its creation as a puzzle to be solved. The charming folk of ‘Charlotte’, the latest single from Belwood favourite Ren Lawton, is the product of just such a creative conundrum. It’s the first track from an upcoming EP Harry’s Poems (from the loft), out 23rd September, which sees him interpret the work of his uncle Harry Owen, inaugural Poet Laureate for Cheshire. Not all poetry lends itself to musicality, nor can a lot of songs claim to be truly poetic. Exploring where the overlap lies, playing Elton to his uncle’s Bernie Taupin, and finding inspiration in another medium, has clearly worked wonders for Ren’s creative spirit, if the entrancing fingerpicking and serene melodies he lends to ‘Charlotte’ are anything to go by.
