Billy Lockett Releases Brand New Album Things Are Looking Up

Billy Lockett has released his brand new album Things Are Looking Up, marking an exciting and deeply personal new chapter for the singer-songwriter.

Written over several years and crafted entirely in Billy’s own studio, Things Are Looking Up is a record shaped by change, growth and resilience. The album draws from real experiences and milestones in Billy’s life, balancing moments of vulnerability with a renewed sense of optimism.

The album’s title carries particular significance, inspired by a sketch left behind by Billy’s late father featuring the hopeful phrase, “Things Are Looking Up” - a message that would go on to become the emotional centre of the project and the artwork itself.

Across the album, Billy leans into the emotive songwriting and heartfelt storytelling that have become synonymous with his music, while also embracing a bigger, more expansive sound. Guitar-driven arrangements sit alongside uplifting melodies and powerful moments of reflection, creating a body of work that feels both intimate and ambitious.

Speaking about the album, Billy described it as a reflection of the last few years of his life - documenting experiences of heartbreak, recovery, love and hope - while creating a record that honours the music and influence of his father.
