A.A. Williams Shares New Single & Music Video “The Echo” Via Bella Union
With her new album As The Moon Rests due out October 7th via Bella Union, and ahead of her London Queen Elizabeth Hall performance this Saturday, A.A. Williams today shares a powerful video for her new single “The Echo”. Commenting on the track, Williams says: “The Echo is a dialogue between a person’s heart and the head – the head trying to persuade the heart that what they need is to take time for themselves and prioritize their own well-being, not seek verification of one’s worth through their relationships with others. Originally titled “Forever Blue”, “The Echo” was begun in 2019 but wasn’t completed in time for inclusion on my debut album. Renamed and reworked, it is a song of yearning, sorrow and beauty.”
