Single Focus: Colin Lillie

Artist/Band: Colin Lillie

Name: Colin Lillie

Single title? Renegade

What's the song about? Having the strength to stick to what you believe even if those around you think you are mad.

How long did it take to write/record? Originally the song came easily yet it wasn't until I got in the studio with producer Mark Myers did it grow and develop into the song it is today.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Yes it's part of my up and coming debut album, Glass Homes, due later this year.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Our world is fighting over the sky, which in turn has us battling for the land, under banners of love when they preach hate behind closed doors. My inspiration is being the Renegade in life.

We'll like this song if we like... The track has a Fleetwood Mac drum feel but to be honest the track is very original.

Do you play it differently live? When not with the full band I play it acoustically with an alternative country feel but still maintaining its strong drive behind it.

When and where is your launch/next gig?  Sydney — Gasoline Pony on 29 June. Brisbane — The Triffid on 30 June. Gold Coast — Night Quarter on 1 July. Darwin — Darwin Railway Club on 8 July. Alice Springs — Epilogue on 23 July.
