Billy Lockett has shared his debut album Abington Grove via Photo Finish Records. The UK pop singer-songwriter's 12-track full-length debut details his life experiences, all stemming from his childhood in his father's house on Abington Grove in Northhampton.
After his father passed away, Lockett returned to the family home to record the album, where he wrote at a prolific pace. "It felt right to go back and make the album there," he said in a release. "I had a lot of dark times in that house. However, everything on this album is from our home."
Lockett details a wide range of themes on Abington Grove, from lost romances on "Miss Missing You" over a bouncy bassline to substance abuse in the synth-driven "We Used To."
"Every song is a different piece of my life," Lockett confided, "whether that's involving love, addiction, self-doubt, or euphoria... building this body of work has been my therapy, and I can honestly say I've never been more proud of anything."
Lockett gave listeners a preview of the album with his October EP Last Thing on Your Mind, which contains four songs that would eventually land among those on Abington Grove.
