Willie J Healey and Jamie T have teamed up for a new single ‘Thank You’

With his new album ‘Bunny’ set to arrive on August 25th via YALA! Records, Willie J Healey is giving us the latest taste of what to expect, teaming up with Jamie T for new single ‘Thank You’.

Healey explains the creative process behind the song: “I was tired and flat and didn’t know what to make & then my friend Jamie said ay willie I’ve got this drum machine it might inspire you. I picked it up and wrote ‘Thank You’ the next day, it was my way of thanking Jamie for being a good friend. I dedicate it to anyone trying to do their own thing.”

In addition to the album, Willie J Healey will be hitting the road in January and February with Florence + The Machine on a series of UK dates. He is also set to appear at various festivals and venues around Europe in July and August.

We caught up with Willie as part of our new albums preview in the current issue of Dork. Here's what he had to say.

Hello, how's it going Willie? Are you looking forward to a brand new year? I'm good, thanks, Dork. It's going pretty well! This year has been a funny one - not bad, just unusual! I suppose I am looking forward to leaving it in the dust, yeah.

We hear you have an album on the way - how's it coming along? If you had to guess, what percentage of the way through it are you? There is a new album on the way, it's completely done, so I'd go with 100%. I'm happy with how it turned out too! My best yet.
