Album:Make Way For Love Artist:Marlon Williams Label:Dead Oceans Genre:Singer / SongwriterThe cover image is monochrome, bleached of colour and craic. Set off to the left, eyes seemingly welling with tears, an anguished Marlon Williams stares sadly into the camera. Heavy stuff – pour me a stiff drink and turn out the lights please. Yet what saves this album from the banality of gushing emotion and draws you back each time is the marriage of stylistic head and vulnerable heart. Or maybe it is the instinctive discipline of his pure choirboy voice bending to the cry of the moment.
