Singer-songwriter and musician from Ripon in North Yorkshire, UK. Billie Marten was born on May 27th, 1999. At the age of 12, her talent caught the attention of thousands when a video of her singing went viral on YouTube. In 2014, at just 15 years old, she released her first EP followed by another one the following year. Her incredible talent led to a nomination for the prestigious BBC Sound of 2016 award.

Back In Stock

Billie Marten releases her fourth record Drop Cherries via Fiction Records. Recorded entirely on tape in Somerset and Wales late last summer, Drop Cherries marks the very first time that Billie Marten has both written and co-produced (with Dom Monks) one of her records; following critically-lauded 2021 album Flora Fauna, Feeding Seahorses by Hand (2019) and Writing of Blues and Yellows (2016).

The title is taken from a tale she heard from a friend just before she was starting to create songs for the album, and the title track came soon after. It’s a metaphor where the gift of cherries stands for offering someone your love; doing anything you can to make them happy. “Dropping cherries,” she begins, “is such a strong, visceral image that I tried to channel throughout recording in Somerset and Wales, to capture the vibrancy, unpredictability, and occasional chaos one experiences within a relationship.
