When it comes to his craft, pop star Nic Billington puts everything he’s got into every little detail. So, it’s not surprising that his new single ‘Homesick’ is another polished anthem from the singer who recently moved to the UK.
Penned by Billington, Paul Gala and Mia van Wyk, ‘Homesick’ delivers a compelling message of reminiscence that fills you with joy and sorrow, simultaneously. The track has a strong 80s synthpop influence laced under Nic’s signature raspy vocals.
“When I listened to the demo for the first time, I broke down and cried. I was really struggling with the passing of someone very close to me and this project just felt like the perfect celebration of life and remembrance,” Nic tells us.
“Homesick” timeously coincides with Nic’s recent relocation to the United Kingdom, and although the singer has noted that he is missing home, the song speaks more about the precious moments lost in time and not a particular place.
The single is accompanied by a super slick visual that showcases Nic and friends on a carefree night out in England’s capital city, London. Billington’s future-esque look for the video was crafted by South African brands, ZEITGEIST and Pasquale Hairstylists. “I really wanted to capture spontaneity, excitement and fun for this visual, and we definitely understood the brief,” Nic continues. “At one point we even put the cameras away and missioned across the city on Boris bikes. I wish the process behind all music videos was this easy-going and fun.”
