Marlon Williams - Make Way For Love (5th Anniversary Frosted Blue Vinyl)
Known for his effortlessly distinctive voice, Make Way For Love marks Marlon's exponential growth as a songwriter. Throughout 11 original songs, he explores new musical terrain and reveals himself in an unprecedented way in the wake of a fractured relationship.
While Make Way For Love draws on Marlon's own story, a new area for him after conscientiously not sharing his own life in song in the past, it captures the vagaries of relationships we've all been through: the bliss, ache, uncertainty, and bitterness. Like the best of breakup records, Make Way For Love doesn't shy away from heartbreak, but rather stares it in the face, and mines beauty from it. Delicate and bold, tender and searing, it's a mightily personal new step for Marlon.
The album was recorded in North California's Panoramic Studios after several weeks of pre-production in his native Lyttelton, New Zealand. The finished result moves Williams several paces from "country" — the genre that's been affixed to him more than any in recent years, but one that's always been a bit too reductive to be wholly accurate - with forays into cinematic strings, reverb, rollicking guitar and at least one quiet piano ballad.
