SINGLE PREMIERE: Colin Lillie – ‘Human Kind Of Life’

Alice Springs-based Scotsman Colin Lillie has a story to tell with new single Human Kind Of Life, the follow-up to his acclaimed 2016 debut album.

A lot has changed since then, with Lillie drawing on a whole new set of influences after relentless touring and appearing on The Voice last year.

“This song is me saying goodbye to the past, thank you to the present and an optimistic hello to the future,” Lillie said.

The single was recorded with producer Jamie Trevaskis (Robert Forster/The Gin Club) and co-written with The Middle East’s Rohin Jones.

"Colin Lillie's Human Kind Of Life is the journey he walked to become free, honest and true to himself,” notes Jones.

“The song weaves its way through his childhood and adolescent years spent in his parents’ home, finally illuminating the man he became through the choices he made.  If he’s one thing it's real." 

It’s the first taste of album number two – expected later this year - with fans across Australia, Canada and the UK able to hear it live over the next few months.
