The song nudges its way into the world with unadorned instrumentation, a reflection of the emotional openness at its center. "Billie (Come Home)" strikes the perfect balance between reminiscence and liberation, capturing the emotional tug of missing someone who helped shape who you are.
Amphlett's delivery is disarmingly human, and you can feel both his yearning and acceptance threaded through this track. In a year in which he's been dropping an impressive string of singles, this stands out as his most intimate. It's more of a peal of emotional honesty, a look deep inside the soul of an artist wholly unafraid to be vulnerable. "Billie (Come Home)" is evidence that simplicity can and does sometimes speak the loudest.
