GRAMMY, EMMY, and Tony Award-winning actor, singer, director, composer, playwright, and author Billy Porter has unveiled a brand new single entitled “Children”. The single marks Billy’s debut under his newly minted joint partnership with Island UK and Republic Records.
The single can be listened to HERE.
“Children” is a high-energy dancefloor anthem co-written with GRAMMY Award-nominated songwriter MNEK [H.E.R., Dua Lipa] and Little Mix’s Jade Thirwell.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the track Billy said: “It’s a song that is inspired by my life and everything I’ve gone through to get here.”
He continued: “Music is my first love. I grew up singing in the church. When I first put out commercial music in 1997, the industry was not ready for all this Black Boy Joy! But luckily the world has caught up. I could not be more thrilled to entrust this next chapter of my music career to the Island/Republic team. Make way children! Daddy’s back.”
“For the first time, my music is what I want it to be, what I want it to say, which is hope, love,” said Porter. “We have to choose it every day so we can fight the evil that is so pervasive. We can only fight it with love and I am so excited for my music for that.”
