Kathryn Williams first started causing people to sit up and take notice back in the late 90s and early 00s with albums such as ‘Dog Leap Stairs’ and ‘Little Black Numbers’ (which garnered her a Mercury nomination). Since then she’s built up an incredible body of work (including, recently, a novel) and her latest album sees her on fine form. Sonically, it’s more expansive than some of her other stuff, with cinematic vibes being supplied by some well judged electronica, but what hasn’t changed is her ability to write an arresting lyric and the kind of swoony melody that takes you to another place. A better place. RM
