Indie's smoothest operator, Willie J. Healy, returns with his first music of the year, following last year's third full-length, “Bunny.” New single “The Apple” takes a trip to New York to work again with the album's producer, Lauren Humphries (Florence and the Machine, Arctic Monkeys), and the result is an equally hilarious album. A 70's style song was completed.
“I wrote 'The Apple' after feeling weird and self-conscious,” he said of the song. “I was living in my head until I realized that life is short… So be yourself, buy your cake and eat it shit!”
It's also set to be a busy few months of touring for Willie, as he embarks on a headline tour across the UK and Europe before joining Idols as support for 11 shows this autumn. Check out his full upcoming live schedule and watch the video for “The Apple” below.
