Willie J Healey’s latest single, “The Apple,” is a delightful continuation of his musical journey, following the success of his acclaimed album “Bunny.” The track effortlessly blends elements of ’70s funk and vintage soul into the mix, whilst tipping his hat towards influences such as Neil Young and Elvis Costello, resulting in a warm and engaging indie rock sound, with just that hint of folk about it.
Lyrically, “The Apple” reflects Healey’s positive outlook on life, celebrating his current circumstances – fatherhood and growing up, while also showcasing his self-deprecating humour. The harmony-laden chorus, annd little unexpected musical side-steps add a lovely touch to the song, driven by an infectious melody that lingers in the mind. With its subtle hints of psych pop, “The Apple” is a standout addition to Healey’s repertoire and sets the stage for what promises to be another exciting year ahead for the talented musician.
