Derby Hill – “Derby Hill”

Derby Hill is a Detroit singer-songwriter stepping out with his self-titled EP “Derby Hill”, and it’s a straightforward introduction to his world. These songs dig into everyday life, the kind that includes struggle, doubt, hope, and small wins that matter more than they seem at first. It sounds honest and rich. Trust me, I’m pretty sure you will enjoy this EP from the first track to the last one.

The EP was recorded in Chicago basements and hall closets, and that detail makes sense once you press play. Tracks like “Restless and Forgiven” and “Red Honey Wine” where the storytelling feels personal and unfiltered, and the arrangements have a cinematic sweep, but they stay rooted in honest songwriting. Every track invites you into a real moment, whether it’s struggle or small victories that keep you moving forward. It connects because it doesn’t feel manufactured.

If you appreciate songwriting that keeps it real and doesn’t hide behind big gestures, Derby Hill is worth your time. Follow him on social media and keep up with what he’s working on next in the new year.
