Australian Producer Billy Fox Stays Close To Home On New Single “Neighbourhood”
Sydney-based multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter Billy Fox has shared his captivating new single “Neighbourhood”, his second single of the year. Impressively restyling the alt-R&B sound into a bass-crunching, Timbaland style groove while being excitingly contemporary, Fox uses his music to welcome in a moment of reflection for his local surroundings.
“There’s been a period recently where a lot of us have gone back to close quarters, spent more time at home and had more of an obvious connection to local neighbourhoods and communities. In this space, it also allowed us to reflect on and think about some pretty big issues and ideas, collectively, as a society. It feels like an important time so this song is a reflection on that,” explains Billy Fox.
With synthetic percussion and glossy effects, “Neighbourhood” channels the indie pop spirit of half-alive, Passion Pit, and MGMT but with a more dense style of production that comes with the 2020s. The Australian songwriter keeps things simple, yet exciting with his modern single.
