FALL IN LOVE WITH BILLIANNE’S POP SONG OF THE SUMMER “CRUSH”
Billianne presents the pop song to obsess over this summer – “Crush”. The single follows Billianne’s infectious “Daydream”, which she premiered on NBC’s The TODAY Show with a captivating performance that cemented her status as an artist to watch.
“Crush” is Billianne’s first ever pop single but she has already been given the seal of approval by some of the biggest names in the genre including Taylor Swift, Joe Jonas, and P!nk. Speaking on the single, the 21-year-old Milton Ontario singer-songwriter says,
“Crush was written on a boat near the end of summer in northern Ontario. I was thinking about a crush I had a while ago and how consuming it feels. Crush is a plea for more as much as it is a confession of feelings! So many laughs went into the creation of this song and I’m excited for the world to hear this “pop” side of me—it represents a large part of myself that I don’t get to indulge in often.”
“Crush” has been selected as the next iHeartRadio Future Star for August & September 2024. During this time, “Crush” will be in full rotation at all iHeartRadio Canada Top 40 stations (which make up 60% of the entire Top 40 Chart Panel), and iHeartRadio Canada Hot AC station CHUM FM Toronto.
Billianne recently returned from a support tour with Australian band Hollow Coves across North America and is playing Osheaga Festival this weekend before embarking on her first tour overseas across Europe and the UK, with debut performances in London, Paris, Berlin, and more. Billianne is wrapping up the year as special guest to Donovan Woods on his fall tour including a night at Massey Hall, Toronto. Complete tour dates are below, and tickets can be purchased online HERE.
A natural performer her whole life, in October 2021, Billianne scored a major breakthrough when her cover of Tina Turner’s “The Best” went viral on TikTok, rocketing to more than 2 million views and over 26,000 creations—not to mention gaining her an adoring fanbase and nods from some of her idols including Taylor Swift, The Lumineers, Joe Jonas, Ryan Reynolds, P!nk, and Michael Bublé. Billianne’s reality had suddenly changed. “It felt like the world was opening up, and everything was possible,” she says.
Billianne has since written, recorded, and released her debut EP, The Things We Talk About, which dropped in July 2023 and has earned her over 10 million global streams. In support of the EP, she performed the record across Canada, opening for iconic acts like KT Tunstall, The Paper Kites, Julia Jacklin, and Half Moon Run.
