Derivatives to be released on May 4th!
We are very pleased to
announce the May 4th digital release of William's latest effort entitled
Derivatives! There are a couple of countries who might be releasing a
week or two later due to international complexities. This latest work by William
can be summed up as a multicolored reimagining of several prominent tracks off
of The Sparrow And The Crow. Many songs on this album have been
reworked including remixed tracks, William backed by a choir, and a new
cover.
The track listing of the album can be seen below. Track #3 will
include a different guest artist depending on where the album is
purchased.
1. I Don't Feel It Anymore (feat. Brooke Fraser, George Raquet
Remix)
2. If You Would Come Back Home (Mikroboy Remix)
3. I Don't Feel It
Anymore (feat. Brooke Fraser - most places & feat. Loane UK/Euro)
4. You
Still Hurt Me (feat. The Great Neck South HS Choir)
5. So This is Goodbye
(Original Version)
6. Goodmorning (Pink Ganter Remix)
7. So This Is
Goodbye (Pink Ganter Remix)
8. I Kissed A Girl
A limited physical
release of Derivatives will occur in the US at most independent record
stores on June 8th and in Germany (locations tbd) or at any William Fitzsimmons
show. If you'd like to pre-order your album you can do so by clicking here for US and here for UK/Europe.
Take a listen to the "So This Is
Goodbye (Pink Ganter Remix)" now on William's myspace page, website, youtube, etc, now!

Tour Documentary
We have some more exciting news to announce!
Last fall William was fortunate enough to team up with director Josh Franer to
document his Fall European tour. For all of those who were unable to see William
perform in Europe here is your opportunity to see what the tour was all about.
The title of the film is Finding Home and features performance footage
with the band and insightful interviews with William. This piece gives you a
glimpse into life on the road and William's views on love, music and more.
We're not yet sure when and where the full 25 minute documentary will
debut but when we do we'll let you know. In the meantime, please take a look at
the trailer below!
