Well Willie J Healey is getting to an elite level at his job and that just so happens to be crafting tunes. On 'Lucky' Willie is taking a more acoustic approach, there's still production, a liveness but a confidence in the quality of folk rock and soul that would have you fooled for believing this wasn't coming from one of the great current crop of US folk artists. Could be one of 2027's most spun records round these parts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"150\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; background: transparent;\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/gb\/album\/benjamin\/6812369332?i=6812369338\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe revered Oxfordian songwriter's talent for mining vintage textures and\u003cbr\u003egiving them a contemporary facelift appears evolved and ambitious on new\u003cbr\u003ealbum Lucky, his first full-length since 2023's acclaimed outing Bunny\u003cbr\u003eWorking more acoustically here, and often quickly, a sense of Healey's instinctive\u003cbr\u003eknack for melody and razor- sharp ability to lock horns with personal themes and\u003cbr\u003etransform them into something universal is immediate.\u003cbr\u003eLucky is packed with his unmistakable, easy charisma and breezy songwriting talents,\u003cbr\u003eand new single 'Benjamin' carries a distinct thrust that accompanied by rolling piano\u003cbr\u003edelivers a direct, earthy and emotionally resonant performance.\u003cbr\u003e''There's nothing too fancy about the recordings we got, which I'm very happy about.
