Hume has contributed to Evermore songs such as 'Hero', 'Come to Nothing', 'For One Day', 'Between the Lines', 'Follow The Sun' and 'It's Too Late' [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] and also sung on Evermore album tracks including 'Morning Star', 'That's The Way', 'Dreaming... Pt.2', 'Broken Glass', 'Inside Of Me', 'Haunted', and 'It's Only Love'.
