Hannah Williams & The Affirmations - Late Nights & Heartbreak (2016)

2016 release, the long-awaited second album by UK's soul hurricane Hannah Williams. Recorded at Quatermass Studio in London - the HQ of the British cult band The Heliocentrics, - the album was produced by legendary UK drummer and producer Malcolm Catto. The musicianship has ramped up several gears since Hannah's first album; bringing a welcome flare of excellence which punctuates Hannah's heartbreaking vocals and embraces Malcolm's tight, psychedelic production. Mixed totally analogue, and mastered on tape, Late Nights & Heartbreak includes 13 tracks of visceral soul with a touch of psychedelic atmosphere - as evidenced by the first single "Tame in The Water". The sound is tighter and punchier than ever before - a trait of the Affirmations which has been brought out in several mind-blowing tracks - like the eight+ minutes of "Still in My Head". The albums' grooves are interspersed with deep and layered soul tracks, like "Another Sunrise" or "Your Luck Can Change" which act as musical beds upon which Hannah explodes with genuine emotions of love, lust, longing and anger - and everything in between. All the songs are original and come from hands of the Bristol-based collective surrounding The Affirmations, led by MD James Graham.
