UK-based Grammy-winning producer and composer Tourist (William Phillips) returns with his new single, “Apollo“. The single artwork was shot by acclaimed British photographer Nigel Shafran who has directed a video for the song as well, released soon.
When asked about this new single, Tourist replied, “I’m interested in exploring human themes through sound. Family, mental health, loss, love. I sit at home by myself most days, writing music. It’s quite an insular life, and it can be claustrophobic, but I suppose much of my new music is an attempt to produce work that is outwardly facing. I want my music to connect and to tell a human story through samples, sounds, and melody. I have always found these components of music much more interesting than words/lyrics,” adding, “[this song] is a piece of music that hopefully inspires reflection and reverie. I love the idea that music can “take” you to places, and that’s what this is to me when I listen back to it.”
