The looping sound of subways and trains, travelling light while re-examining growing pains—Billianne’s debut album Modes of Transportation is a raw and poetic examination of what it means to move: between places, moments, relationships, and selves. At just 22, the Canadian singer-songwriter navigates personal transition with remarkable clarity, pairing introspective lyrics with a voice that feels like a revelation. Her vocals are both velvet-rich and hauntingly pure—able to swell with ache or shrink to a whisper without ever losing their warmth. There’s an unmistakable emotional intelligence in the way she delivers a line: subtle shifts in phrasing reveal entire inner worlds. No wonder Rolling Stone described her as “like a young Adele”; her voice carries the same commanding tenderness and stunning range, a rare ability to feel both unguarded and timeless at once.
