“DON’T EXPLAIN” EP STUDIO PROJECT

In 2022, Billie began working on an exciting project with the greatly revered pianist, composer, and producer, Mr. Greg Goebel, whose fresh stylistic take on classic standards set them apart from the crowd-pleasing delivery of these tunes customarily evoking mass-appeal.

Candidly, Billie insists that Greg’s work has its own signature style and that his arrangements rival any niche creation found in the art world as a visionary art form defined by leading fashion houses and champions of haute couture.  “It is Greg’s creative genius and elegant treatment of these compositions that make this project so alluring and fun,” she boasts.

This particular collection consists of several gorgeous pieces by Mr. Goebel, including "I've Grown Accustomed to His Face", "Body and Soul", “ Darn that Dream", “ Love for Sale”, “You Don’t Know What Love Is”, and “Don’t Explain” - which will make up an EP scheduled for completion by the early 2023.

“I have been very much enjoying vocalist Billie Eidson’s wonderful rendition of the Lerner and Loewe classic, “I’ve Grown Accustomed to [His] Face. The intimate duo setting with pianist Greg Goebel couldn’t be more perfect,” remarks Ben Wolfe, bassist and composer whose career includes Grammy award winning, platinum-selling collaborations with both Harry Connick Jr., and Diana Krall, as well as ongoing collaborations with Wynton Marsalis and performances with jazz luminaries such as Joe Henderson, Doc, Jon Hendricks, Harry "Sweets” Edison, and Billy Higgins, among many others.

SKYLARK + I COULD WRITE A BOOK + SOMETIMES I LOVE YOU

Billie’s single, Skylark, was released on in the fall of 2022. “Skylark. Have you anything to say to me?” Johnny Mercer.

Just as Mercer struggled with Hoagy Carmicheal’s 1940 classic composition for over 1 year trying to “get the lyrics" right,” so too haven’t we all shared a similar struggle over the past year? Sure. Listen to the yearning of this tune. It's based on Mercer’s love affair with Judy Garland. It' s real. It's complicated. It's LIFE.

Billie’s single, I Could Write a Book, was commemoratively released on Billie’s birthday - February 16 - just one month after her full debut CD, Sometimes I Love You, January 15! Until now, I Could Write a Book, has only been available digitally.
