British singer-songwriter Billie Marten announced her third album Flora Fauna due out May 21 on IMPERIAL Music/Fiction Records, with a sublime single/video “Garden Of Eden” which has garnered critical acclaim spanning The New York Times and Stereogum.
Billie Marten shared her new release with us recently and we immediately fell in love with Billie’s writing style. It’s smart, it’s catchy, and it’s totally relatable. Mix that with some sharp production and a catchy guitar arrangement and you have one hell of a song. Billie has an incredible voice and if you think this song is great, wait till you hear some of the artist’s other material.
“It’s a song of growth, and competition to evolve as individuals in an increasingly suffocating and vacuous society. I liked the idea of humans growing up like tomatoes in the greenhouse, needing water and oxygen and space, but not getting any of it. The choruses act as a burst of relief to allow space to breathe and to express that want of living right. This was one of the first pivotal songs for me as the general sentiment breeds happiness and optimism, which is something I wasn’t particularly familiar with thus far.”
