Seven years ago, when she was 17 years old, we named Billie Marten an Artist To Watch. For the better part of a decade, she’s been proving us right. The English folk-pop singer-songwriter will return in April with her fourth album, Drop Cherries, in which cherries are a metaphor for offering someone your love and going out of your way to please them.

“Dropping cherries is such a strong, visceral image that I tried to channel throughout recording in Somerset and Wales, to capture the vibrancy, unpredictability, and occasional chaos one experiences within a relationship,” Marten says in a press release. “Imagine stamping blood-red cherries onto a clean, cream carpet and tell me that’s not how love feels.”

Lead single “This Is How We Move” is the kind of impossibly beautiful acoustic ballad that made me a Billie Marten fan in the first place, tender and gentle and twilit and just about perfect. Watch Katie Silvester’s video for the song below.
