Review: Billy Raffoul delights on sultry EP ‘The Running Wild’ (Includes first-hand account)

Greg Kurstin, Dave Pittenger, and Mike Crossey served as the producers of this project. The EP opens with “Lovely,” which features Raffoul’s crisp, sultry voice, and it is followed by the optimistic and empowering “Mental Health (Can’t Do This by Yourself).”

It immediately breaks into the mid-tempo yet catchy “Bad for You,” and he sings the bluesy “Coffee” with maximum heart. It is evident that Raffoul has an old soul. The EP closes on a liberating note with “Running Wild.”

The Running Wild is available on Apple Music and on Spotify.

On May 7, Raffoul will be performing live at Gramercy Theatre in New York City.

The Verdict

Overall, Billy Raffoul delivers on this brand new studio effort. It has a positive message to it that will resonate well with his fans and listeners. It encompasses elements of pop, rock, alternative, folk and Americana music. This five-track collection has a retro vibe to it, and it garners an A rating.
