about

This four-track EP perpetuates the organic instrumental rawness of the "Way Back Home" single with soothing emotional vocals and excellent production. Choices We Make dwells on themes such as the longing for love, as well as heartbreak and self-reflection. The title song speaks to the questions and insecurities we face as we navigate the modern world – about the combined pressures of our personal goals and online activities feeding into depression and indecisiveness. Having gone through these emotions himself, Billy aims to offer a glimpse of hope and support to those struggling through troublesome times.

The EP’s concept has been inspired by Ithaca, a Greek poem by Cavafy that has special significance for Billy – it was given to him in a congratulatory graduation letter from his parents before he moved to Nashville. The poem speaks to the reader, warning them of the difficulties that they will face in their journey through life, and reassuring them they will persevere as long as they stay true to their path. Most of the EP was recorded at the legendary Crypt Studios, and it was completed at a home studio and rehearsal spaces around London. As daunting as the process was for Billy, it turned out to be part of his immense learning curve. “Although it took me close to two years of lows, self-doubt and daunting moments, the choices I made (no pun intended!) while making this helped me expand my musical knowledge and creativity.” From the two years he spent self-producing this EP, the title Choices We Make morphed into a reflection of the overall process.

I often listen to specific music when i´m in a specific mood. This album, and ´Oranges and Lemons´ specifically I can listen to anytime and it will boost my mood. If I´m sad it comforts me. If I´m angry it calms me down. If I´m happy it lifts me up even more. It may not do the same to you, but there´s high chances you´ll enjoy listening anyway. smugs
