After finding a new home in the red heart of Australia’s central desert – Alice Springs – gypsy Scotsman Colin Lillie has thrived as a singer-songwriter.
After catching the ear of fellow artist and owner of Beverley Hillbilly Records, Catherine Britt, she not only signed Lillie to her label but also produced his forthcoming EP.
The first single lifted from the EP is ‘The War’.
“Within us all we have the answers to our pain, yet its not until we discover true love can we then win our own personal war on fear”, says Lillie. “To be brave is to be loved or to be loved is to be brave. It’s not until we see the light of love do we truly accept we can change our narrative and that light can come from the most unexpected of places”.
In pre-production, Lillie admits he was a bit unsure of Catherine’s suggestion of including a time change in the song. “She got so excited as she heard the time change immediately and to be honest, I wasn’t as excited. Yet in the spirit of the song, I was ready to see what would come from Catherine’s production idea … and gosh, she was right!”
‘The War’ was produced by Catherine Britt and mixed by Shane Nicholson. Shane also contributed guitar, keys and backing vocals, while Jeff McCormack was on bass and Steve Fearnley on Drums. Jim DeMain at Yes Master Studios in Nashville completed mastering. Colin Lillie.
