About this album

Marlon Williams is a striking debut that introduced the New Zealand singer-songwriter as a singular new voice in contemporary country and folk. Released in 2015, it pairs his rich baritone and old-world phrasing with sparse, classic arrangements that give the songs room to breathe. Written and recorded with a clear sense of tradition, the album draws on heartbreak, loneliness and dark humour without losing its melodic directness. Songs such as Hello Miss Lonesome helped establish Williams as an artist who could bridge Americana, country and folk with real authority, and the record remains the release that announced his talent to a wider audience.
