Since the debut of Tilly Birds with their English-language singles, the dynamic trio is returning to their roots with their full debut English album I’ll Remember To Forget You.
The 13-track album takes listeners through a musical voyage that traverses themes of the bittersweet tension of wanting to move on, yet being unable to let go of lingering memories. The record opens with the introspective first notes of ‘Dearest Tears’. In moments of loneliness and heartbreak, tears become a quiet reminder that feeling pain means your heart is still alive. The melody flows into the next track, ‘Our Happy Place’, depicting the organised chaos that life becomes as we search for a place where we can finally be free, unbound by obligation, free to let our spirits soar.
The series of pre-album singles that came out prior to the record include 'White Pills', 'RETRO-39', 'Never A Waste Of Time', 'Heaven (feat. BEN&BEN)', and 'Call It A Day'. Each track adds a stroke to the masterpiece that reflects the moment when a relationship becomes too heavy to carry, grappling with sleepless nights and lingering memories, and confronting the impossibility of rewinding time. They move through grief and nostalgia toward acceptance, ultimately affirming that even in endings, love was real, meaningful, and worth choosing, because true connection isn’t a place to reach, but a feeling you carry with you.
With I’ll Remember To Forget You, Tilly Birds offers more than a collection of songs; it’s a tender companion for anyone learning how to loosen their grip on the past while honouring what once was. Rooted in vulnerability and emotional honesty, the album invites listeners to sit with their memories, feel the ache, and slowly find peace in letting go.
