Billie Marten shares fan favourite new track ‘Crown’

Beloved singer-songwriter Billie Marten has offered up new track ‘Crown’, a long-awaited recorded version of a live set staple. 

It’s Billie’s first release since the arrival of fourth album ‘Drop Cherries’ last year, and comes hot on the heels of her sold-out headline show at The Barbican in London, where she was joined onstage by free-form string group Her Ensemble for special orchestral renditions of her back catalogue. 

Recorded in New York with Philip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Cass McCombs, Tomberlin), ‘Crown’ is a warm slice of serenity - a track which Billie has described as “a song of longing, of accepting who you are, a truthful interlude”. 

Speaking about its creation, Weinrobe has shared: “We made this song in what felt like an instant, elbow to elbow, circled up, delicately listening to each other breathe, and sing, and play. Honestly magical. I wish you could have been there. Thank god we recorded it.”
