    Billy Lockett pulls on our heartstrings once again today (November 24th) with the release of his brand new single ‘I Could Use A Friend’.



    Delicately pieced together by the simplicity of a lone piano and Lockett’s beautifully understated, yet powerful vocals, the emotive song taps into the emotion the Northampton singer-songwriter feels when longing for a friend to reach out to in his quiet times of need.

    Commenting on the heartfelt track, Billy says: “‘I Could Use A Friend’ is the song I’ve been looking for my whole life. I’ve gone back to my roots with this one and even though it’s simplistically piano and vocals it’s a step up. Every chord had to punch me in the heart or it was wrong.” 

    “The lyrics are about feeling deeply alone throughout my life whether it was at school or in adult life, I often go through patches where I feel extremely lost and sometimes for no obvious reason. I wrote this song while in one of those dark patches. Written right from my heart, I just love it so so much.”


    “Lately I feel like a stranger, living in my own skin… I could use a friend.”


    The singles accompanying music video provides fans with an intimate view into Billy’s turmoil, as he delivers an impassioned performance of the tracks emotive lyrics, surrounded by his beloved father’s artwork, and lit by candlelight.

    Of the video, Billy says: “The video was shot in Abington Grove. I covered the walls in my dads art artwork and felt it needed to follow the simplicity of the song. I didn’t want any gimmicks with this, just me and a piano at home, making it all about the song.”
