There is a lot of music that comes into my emails daily, even on the weekends. There are certain moments, or songs, for this matter that stand out and make you pay attention.

I was hooked from the first bass string pull, the song kicks into high gear, and then we get the chorus, so catchy! This is just the first song, I hope to hear the rest of this album.

So far this is my favorite song of 2024!

Press Release below:

Billy Morrison unveiled his inaugural single, "Drowning," a compelling preview of his upcoming solo album, 'THE MORRISON PROJECT,' scheduled for release on April 19, 2024, through TLG/VIRGIN MUSIC GROUP.

In reflecting on the inspiration behind "Drowning," Morrison shares, "At the time I penned this song, the world was steeped in unease, fear, and discontent – marked by riots, a global pandemic, and a struggling economy. It seemed as if the collective sentiment mirrored my own sense of anxiety and dissatisfaction. This track emerged as a creative outlet to articulate those emotions and connect with a broader audience."

THE MORRISON PROJECT was produced by Billy Morrison, mixed by Barry Pointer, and mastered by Dave Donnelly. The songs on the album were recorded in Los Angeles at various studios and were written by Billy Morrison in collaboration with his guests.
