British singer/songwriter Billy Lockett shares his new emotive single and video, “Last Thing On Your Mind” out via Photo Finish Records. Listen to the track HERE, and watch the video HERE.
“Last Thing On Your Mind” is a brazenly introspective narrative backed by notes of soft piano, yet powered by profound lyrical elements that captures Billy’s striking vocals. It finds him reflecting on a departed relationship captured by the brooding lyrics, “Am I the last thing on your mind // Cause you’re the first on mine// I feel like a stranger in your life // And I swear that something doesn’t feel right.” It’s a bare illustration of lovers turned into strangers. This is beautifully displayed in the heart-rending music video, a homage to Sinéad O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
About the track Billy says, “Last Thing on Your Mind is about all the relationships that sometimes die for no real reason. It’s about feeling like the love is just running out with someone and that you almost wish something dramatic could happen just to give you a better reason for feeling so sad.”
Billy recently spoke with Wonderland Magazine who professed, “Billy Lockett possesses the type of voice that instantly ignites your spirit. Tender yet commanding, authentic yet controlled.”
The release of “Last Thing On Your Mind” follows previous releases “Freaking Out”, “Not Okay” and “Hard Act To Follow,” all featured on Billy’s forthcoming debut album Abington Grove, out February 17th, 2023. Pre-order the album HERE.
Having supported the likes of Lana Del Ray, Lewis Capaldi, Birdy and KT Tunstall, Billy Lockett has rubbed shoulders with the stars and has amassed over 110 million collective streams and tens of thousands of fans across the globe for his powerful and emotive songwriting spanning a myriad of genres.
Billy, who has been cited as “The English Lewis Capaldi,” takes everything he’s seen, heard, experienced, and felt and renders his life as songs you can sing aloud with friends or find solace in when you’re alone. Coming from a background of struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, Billy’s journey continues in a new direction for the future, embracing sobriety for the first time.
