An artist that’s already widely showcased what he’s capable of, Billy Got Waves is Scotland’s future rap superstar. Having debuted in 2018, the young talent quickly rose to prominence thanks to an introspective and intense lyrical flow coupled with an eclectic and hypnotizing aesthetic. Evidence of that is the impressive streaming counts on his Spotify profile, and him being the winner of the 2019 IMA Award for Best Scottish Album.
Since then, it’s been a triumph, with Billy Got Waves moving fast along and exhibiting stunning productivity, allowing him to build a certain hype and attention around the project. After a busy 2022, the Edinburgh-based talent now returns with what feels like a confirmation, another gem in an already jam-filled catalogue. ‘Heaven’ is Billy Got Waves’ latest effort, a charming journey into the Scottish artist’s personal universe, made up of leftfield rap productions, ethereal tones and textures, intimate beats and a deep-rooted lyricism, constantly exploring personal experiences and the way he deals with them.
Lyrically, ‘Heaven’ seeks to recall the first time he met his girlfriend, a passionate and admiring love anthem. As Billy Got Waves explains: “Heaven” is an ode to the first time I laid eyes upon my girlfriend, thinking I was witnessing a goddess live in the flesh.”
