Australian singer/songwriter and multi-intrumentalist Sally Seltmann, who has just signed to the Lojinx label, releases a new single “Billy” – a taster from her forthcoming album, due for release in March 2014.
Sally, who formerly performed under the moniker “New Buffalo”, is perhaps best known for having co-written Feist‘s hit “1234”, but she has also had her songs covered by several other artists, including Bon Iver. She is also a member of Seeker Lover Keeper alongside Sarah Blasko and Holly Throsby.
When Sally commenced writing for her new album she knew she wanted to create a collection of songs that expressed the full spectrum of human emotions. “Billy” with its captivating melody, is a time-honoured tale of a woman lamenting the loss of her beloved man, and is the first in a series of songs that offer listeners a thrilling emotional journey.
The song is accompanied by a video directed by Nelson Alves, which reflects the bittersweet sentiment of the song and its haunting chorus.

It will be released in March on Lojinx in Europe, Arts & Crafts in North America, Rallye in Japan and Caroline/Universal in Australia.
