The debut
Forever Blue (2020) by London-based multi-instrumentalist A.A. Williams had many explosive moments. However, the cover album Songs From Isolation, which came about during the corona pandemic, shows the artist from her gentler side. This time there are no abrasive guitars to be seen. She's made minimal piano versions of various songs. Lovesong by
The Cure,
Radioheads Creep and the solid
… Every Day Is Exactly The Same (actually the perfect song at the time of a lockdown) by Nine Inch Nails transformed into beautiful, lived-in piano versions. At the same time, her versions contain a form of melancholy and sad beauty. Absolutely perfect to lose yourself in. (JvQ)more
