Billy Raffoul’s “For All These Years” Album Download Leak MP3 ZIP Files
Billy Raffoul, a soulful singer, songwriter, and producer from Nashville/Toronto, is pleased to announce his new full-length album, For All These Years. The album will be available on October 20th via Nettwerk.
For All These Years was created with the assistance of long-term collaborators Justin Zuccato and Mike Crossey. The album is a highly anticipated introduction to the next phase of Raffoul’s artistry, showcasing his vocals’ graceful grit and his ability to tell stories straight from the heart.
In For All These Years, Billy explores different relationships and characters. The album is a collection of songs that touch on themes such as a person’s relationship with their father, a loved one battling addiction, and reminders of a past relationship that continues to haunt you. Besides three collaborations with his brother Peter Raffoul, Billy wrote this album independently. He spent significant time living with each story until they felt ready. For All, These Years is the first record of his musical inspirations on one LP.
With this announcement, Billy shares his beautiful ballad, “In My Arms,” and a profoundly vulnerable video directed by Hannah Gray Hall. The stripped-down production and consistent percussion feel like a beating heart throughout the entire track. The lyrics read like a letter to a lover whose healing relationship has transformed. “In My Arms” is available on all streaming platforms.
Billy shares, “In My Arms is a love song about vulnerability and trust. It’s about that point in the earlier stage of a relationship when you’re starting to care about the other person, and feel like you’re taking a leap of faith. It’s a song about the hope that vulnerability and trust are reciprocated.”
Billy will celebrate this collection of new songs with a headline North American fall tour starting in Detroit at The Magic Bag. He will then make stops in Chicago at the Beat Kitchen, Los Angeles at the Peppermint Club, Nashville at the Exit/In, New York at the Mercury Lounge, and more before wrapping up in Boston at Cafe 939.
Music surrounded Billy as a child in his hometown of Leamington. His father, Jody Raffoul, was a popular regional draw who performed at a prolific pace. Billy picked up his first guitar and spent countless hours on it at a young age. “Music put food on the table for my family, and it was always there,” Billy shares. “I don’t look at it any differently than if your dad is a lawyer and you become a lawyer.”
Raffoul debuted in 2017 with the single “Driver”. Following the release of his 1975 EP, The Running Wild EP, and A Few More Hours, his debut full-length album, he delivered at YYZ in 2020. The single “Acoustic” generated over 60.7 million Spotify streams, and “Easy Tiger” surpassed 19.4 million Spotify streams. The same year, he maintained this momentum with the International Hotel and shared bills with Kings of Leon, Kaleo, X Ambassadors, American Authors, and more. In 2021, he won the SOCAN Songwriting Prize for the single “Western Skies”.
Billy’s songs will ultimately resonate through your speakers and from the stage. “When you come to a show for the first time, I hope you walk away feeling good,” he shares.
