A.A. Williams announces third album Solstice, releases new single Hold It Together

A.A. Williams has announced details of her third album, Solstice.

The follow-up to 2022’s stunning As The Moon Rests will arrive on June 5 via RPM, with a press release describing it as ‘intimate yet immense, delicate yet thunderous’.

And you can hear that already with newly-unveiled single Hold It Together below. A.A Williams explains that, “Silence exists where you long for answers, a bleak fragility that you daren’t disturb. Where beauty stood only the faintest glow remains, afraid of smothering it you shrink into a mould of your own making. Your edges dulled, your features disappearing, you put on that brave face not knowing whether you do it to protect others or yourself.

“You smile, you carry on, feeling everything, showing nothing.”

Check out Hold It Together:

Catch A.A. Williams live at ArcTanGent on August 22.
