Ten Lives, the fourth album by British singer-songwriter and jazz musician Gwyneth Herbert, was released on 1 July 2008.[1]

History

In early 2008, Herbert was commissioned by a collaborative project between Peter Gabriel and Bowers & Wilkins to record an acoustic album at Gabriel's Real World Studios.[2] The result of these sessions – Ten Lives – was released as a digital download in July 2008,[3] available only from the Bowers & Wilkins website as part of their Music Club. The music was later made available for downloading from other music websites.[1]

Remixed versions of these songs, all written by Herbert, formed the basis of her 2009 album All the Ghosts.[4]
