Produced by her longtime collaborator Peter Bond, the album features a stellar lineup of guest artists and new interpretations of treasured past collaborations. Among the highlights is a charming duet with Mark Masri (of The Tenors fame) on the Everly Brothers’ classic Bye Bye Love. Liona also revisits two beloved tracks, offering newly reimagined versions of Summer Dreams — her dreamy collaboration with the late Olivia Newton-John, and Gordon Lightfoot, a heartfelt tribute recorded with Ronnie Hawkins in a tribute to their mutual friend.

In Liona’s own words: “These songs cover the full range of emotions I’ve personally experienced in life — the passion of love and joy, balanced by the sadness of yearning and loss. The ballad Sweet Dreams embraces the tender aspects of love, while The Wedding Song describes the blissful feeling of realizing you want to share your life with someone special. My playful fantasy piece, Tamarinda, was inspired by my time living in Mexico, while songs like Living On Borrowed Time and My Life Alone are more introspective, reflecting on how brief and fragile our time here truly is.”

With This Thing Called Love, Liona Boyd invites listeners into a lush and lyrical world that spans genres and emotions — blending folk, pop, Latin influences, and her signature classical guitar sound into an album as heartfelt as it is timeless.The album will also be available on CD at Amazon.ca and in stores, Distributed by Universal Music.
