On November 16th, William John Titus Bishop unveiled Second Time Around, a compelling protest song that delves into the raw intricacies of human relationships. Known for his eloquent lyricism and rich musical compositions, Bishop continues to challenge conventions with his unique blend of storytelling and melody.
Second Time Around marks a bold departure from his classical roots, a journey that began when Bishop transitioned from performing orchestral works to crafting his own songs. With a master’s degree in English Literature and doctoral studies under Brian Cummings—a Fellow of the British Academy—Bishop’s literary background informs his songwriting with depth and nuance.
This latest single is not just music; it’s a statement. Protest meets introspection as Bishop captures the struggles and beauty of connection in its most unfiltered form. Fans of his earlier work will find Second Time Around both familiar in its lyrical sophistication and refreshing in its raw emotional honesty.
Before venturing into songwriting, Bishop studied piano with Robin Coward (Passanger) and drums with Camille Phillips (The Subways). Since then, he has recorded three full-length studio albums, building an impressive fanbase of over 1.5 million on social media. His previous album achieved a remarkable 4 million Spotify streams within its first week, cementing his status as a modern musical force.
Bishop’s influence extends beyond the stage, with his music featured in university degree courses at York and Sussex. With Second Time Around, he once again proves why he’s a vital voice in contemporary music.
