New Zealand Artist Marlon Williams Makes Beauty Out of Agony (Archives)




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>New Zealand singer/songwriter Marlon Williams has a voice like butter which can be charming and flirty as in the timeless crooner soon-to-be-classic, “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsQCYvS-RC0" target="_blank">Vampire Again</a>,” or which can convey despair and longing, see his duet with Aldous Harding - "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsJIDptF-2c" target="_blank">Nobody Gets What They Want Anymore</a>." After his breakup from musician Aldous Harding, complicated torrents of feeling poured out in song, all delivered in a honey-smooth voice that accepts heartbreak and cultivates its beauty. Marlon Williams' 2018 record was called <em>Make Way For Love;</em> he plays some of those songs, in-studio. (From the Archives, 2018.) </p>
