Built on the minimalist acoustic folk she made a name for herself with, Billie Marten’s breath-taking new record Flora Fauna is a mature, embodied collection of songs fostered around a backbone of bass and rhythm. "When I was younger, I was quite trepidatious in my songwriting," she reflects, while sitting in the winter sunshine in her adopted home of East London. "I concealed myself in my music. Now, I've gained more personal strength than I had before, I was so obsessed with what people thought of me then. Over time, you learn to care a bit less – and you start writing about the things that really matter."
Billie was then signed to Chess Club Records, an imprint of Sony, "the day before my Maths GCSE”. I was revising and then signing in this big glass boardroom." Not long afterwards, she was nominated for the BBC Sound of 2016, making fans out of Radio 1 tastemakers like Annie Mac and Huw Stephens. Her critically acclaimed debut album, Writing of Blues and Yellows, was a diarist, open-hearted collection of quietly beautiful songs released in 2016, when she was still just 17. The following year, she moved to London, where she worked on her 2019 follow-up, Feeding Seahorses By Hand, which The Line of Best Fit declared a "gentle and reserved masterpiece".
