Toronto Singer-Songwriter Artist Billy Raffoul Shares New Single “Bliss”

Singer-songwriter/producer Billy Raffoul, who balances his time between Toronto and Nashville, has shared his new single “Bliss”. Captivating audiences with his iconic soulful raspy vocals, Raffoul strips things back ever so slightly for a playful guitar-pop offering.

“This song was inspired by the phrase ‘ignorance is bliss,’ but it’s really about trying to hold on to innocence and letting go of cynicism“, Billy shares. “I initially intended it to be about my own process as a songwriter. When I started writing songs, I would just write them to write them, with no agenda or plan. As I continued through this business, I would catch myself getting more and more methodical and calculated about songwriting at times. Although that is sometimes necessary, and I enjoy it, the feeling of creating something for the pure fun of it is often unmatched. As this song’s development continued, I tried to simplify the lyrics and message to make it more relatable. It’s a fun song about a song. About doing what feels right and not thinking too much.”

With his new EP I Wish You Were Here arriving on March 24th, Raffoul continues to showcase his evolving sound and strengths as a diverse songwriter and compelling vocalist.
