Willie J Healey returns with brand new single, "The Apple"
Willie J Healey has returned with his brand new single, "The Apple".
"The Apple" unites the contemporary take on ‘70s funk and vintage soul influences of the Bunny album with his long-standing admiration for Neil Young and Elvis Costello. The track is product of the continuation of the creative process behind Bunny after he returned to New York last December for a week-long session with the album’s producer Loren Humphries (Florence + The Machine, Arctic Monkeys).
"I wrote ‘The Apple’ after feeling weird and self-aware. I was living in my head until I realised, man, life is short… so be yourself, get your cake and fu*king eat it!," he says.
The release of "The Apple" brings further big news from the Willie J Healey camp after the announcement he will tour as special guests to IDLES later this year. After selling out the Brixton Electric last year, he will now take Bunny on a second UK tour next month, with dates in Southampton, Tunbridge Wells, Bath, Cambridge, and more, before embarking upon his debut European headline run later that month.
"The Apple" is out now. For information on his forthcoming live dates, visit williejhealey.com.
