As his formidable second album schedules for release in the early part of 2024  he performs songs, he sings , Bilambiyal (The Learning) to life.

When you watch him live you can see he's drawing from within.Those who have witnessed Radical Son in performance never fail to feel that power. His jaw-dropping version of Archie Roach’s Walking Into Doors has been met with open mouths and standing ovations at Port Fairy, Parrtjima, Horizon and Desert Harmony Festivals, a testament to his commanding presence and interpretive skill as well as a deep connection to his late mentor.

That yearning to stand tall and connect is etched in every track of Bilambayal: a lifeline between the singer to the greater community and the world.

The lead single, Elder — rapturously received in June by media as diverse as ABC Radio National, MTV, Frankie magazine and Triple J — is a key declaration, a statement of devotion to country, his Kamilaroi and Tongan cultures, and to maintaining those lines of knowledge and belonging.

From song to song, Bilambayal is an act of constant evaluation and balance. The album’s second single, Until You Call My Name, fathoms dark days to emerge stronger in the process of remembering and expressing.
