Billie Marten first rose to prominence at the age of 17 with a jarringly mature debut ‘Writing of Blues and Yellows’, which landed her a BBC Sound of 2016 nomination.
Marten’s latest single Creature of Mine expands on the folk infused sonics of her earlier work and introduces sleek guitars with tinged with midwestern emo angst and a subtly grooving drum pattern which gives the track its forward momentum.
The track’s video, directed by Joe Wheatley, features an ethereal Marten moving through a beautifully shot forest.
Watch the video for Creature of Mine below:
“It’s an end of the world, post-apocalyptic scenario – you get to choose one thing, one person to leave it with. It’s a love song to a stranger and a polite request to momentarily leave Earth when it’s all too much,” says Billie Marten of the single.
Creature of Mine is taken from Marten’s upcoming third album Flora Fauna – out May 21 on new label home Fiction Records.
