The first half
of this year has been hectic for T. Williams, to say the least, but having
ensured his studio time throughout the London producer is now ready to drop his
first original material of the year. The four track ‘Feelings Within’ EP is the
follow-up to last year’s acclaimed ‘Pain & Love’ EP for PMR and succinctly
showcases the evolution in Williams’ sound across its diverse spread.
EP opener ‘On My
Own’ featuring homegrown talent TALA is a slinky, low slung house groove that
pairs its expansive chords with the singer’s soulful vocals, delivering both a
fresh club production and an emotive modern soul track. Up next, ‘Mobb’ hones
its focus directly on the dance floor, drawing on Williams’ underground
background with an incisive drum skip and huge slaps of bass that reverberate
through the low end. For ‘Smile’ T is joined by Tendai, who he has worked with
previously on ‘Think Of You’. Here her rich vocals are pinned to a sunkissed
house track replete with a fluid groove, shimmering synths and an undeniable
chorus. The EP is then completed by the sharp garage-inflected swing of ‘Three
Letters’, a powerful club track with soaring diva vocals and infectiously
layered riffs which perfectly temper the track’s bumping, swollen bassline.
Whether it’s his
increasingly hectic international touring schedule, his recently finished
weekly radio show on leading underground station Rinse FM or being brought into
to remix a breadth of artists, from Lianne La Havas to Wretch 32, 2013 has been
filled with exciting steps forward for T.Williams. Currently out in New York as
a participant in the lauded Red Bull Music Academy and with his next US tour
alongside label mates Disclosure looming, the new EP will undoubtedly prove to
be a watershed moment in his career.
