Billie Marten - Feeling

British singer/songwriter Billie Marten recorded her fifth album Dog Ear last summer in New York City, and it'll drop on July 18 via Fiction Records. The super gorgeous "Feeling" marks the first track on that album and also the first single to come out of it. To support the album, Billie will go on tour and play several shows stateside and, of course, also one in New York City down at the Seaport at the stunning Pier 17 rooftop.

Asked about "Feeling," Billy has several thoughts and says:

“I’ve discovered that I have a really particular long-term memory: I have specific sensory recollections from when I was two onwards, that I can recall easily now. One of these is marking out roads in my grandmother’s patterned carpet, for my Dad’s old 1950/60s toy cars to drive on. I used to trace patterns in everything: fabric seats at the dentist, carpets, wallpaper and walls, raindrops on car windows. Everything had a pattern to be noticed."

Billy explains further:

“Another strong memory is the feeling of big, warm hands when you’re a child and how comforting and safe that feels. The notion of age being so far away from you, but you know it’s a future inevitability, and that you’re on your way there. The inarticulateness of that ‘feeling’ you can’t describe yet, but you’re aware of a push in the world that you don’t yet understand.

Musically, the track is just so inviting and sensual, and Billie offers:

“‘Feeling’ is really set alight by Núria Graham’s guitar part, the one you hear from the outset. It sparks the album info life and really sets a benchmark in terms of rhythm. This is an album of rhythmic focus.”
