Metalhorse by Billy Nomates is a standout album of 2025, and Nothin' Worth Winnin' a standout song.
Good news therefore that it's been officially released as a single. Not only that, but with a brilliant video directed by Tia Salisbury and co-starring the inimitable Paul Foot.
It all starts with an exchange of phone messages.
Tor: "Hey Paul, not heard from you in a while. Had a thought. Me and you, let's go to the fair. Let's get on some rides, let's play some games, just go and have some fun."
Paul: "Hi Tor, thanks for your message. Would you mind if we didn't go? I'm just really not in the mood for that sort of thing. Um, if you really, really want to go, I will go with you, um, but i would really rather not. Thanks."
They go, of course.
A superb video to complement a superb song. Possibly the best music you'll see and hear all day.
You were right. I couldn't find a better song today. Worse: I think I've fallen in love with her (voice). Thanks
ReplyDeleteIt was the same for me, I think she's brilliant.
DeleteAside from the Billy Nomates catalogues, she also regularly releases music under her own name, Tor Maries; in fact, a brand new song popped up the day after this post! All available as Name Your Price downloads on Bandcamp.
