More You Becomes You is the debut studio album by American artist Liam Hayes, originally released on September 8, 1998.[1][2]

'More You Becomes You' featured mournful pianos, sweeping arrangements, plaintive emotional confessionals, and delicate vocal harmonies. The electric arrangements of his debut single, Found a Little Baby, were abandoned in favor of simple piano arrangements. The album was mainly centered around Hayes installed at his piano with a tape machine ready to record. It featured a raw simplicity with Hayes giggling mischievously as he missed the high notes of a delicate '(I Didn't Know) I Was Asleep'.[3]
