Impassioned and earnest, Biilmann’s talent as a natural storyteller shines on ‘The Hills Have Eyes’, while also noting considerable versatility when lined up against his previous releases.
"The Hills Have Eyes” is a kick in a new direction from me, I wanted to do something that had the elements with what make me who I am as an artist with a new twist. It’s sure to come as a bit of a surprise, but is still a very ‘Jack Biilmann’ sounding song. The production from Kojo Ansah has really given this song exactly what I am after and I am so excited to release it and see its response." - Jack Biilmann
