A.A. Williams announces ‘Solstice’, due June 5 via RPM, and shares its first single “Hold It Together” alongside a new video. The London-based singer-songwriter brings her signature blend of haunting atmosphere and emotional intensity to a track that captures the precise weight of carrying deep feeling while keeping a calm surface. “You smile, you carry on, feeling everything, showing nothing,” she explains. It is one of the more honest descriptions of the song’s emotional territory you’ll find, and the music delivers exactly that. Pre-orders open April 22.
The single arrives after a successful UK and European tour and sets up a packed run of festival and headline dates through the summer. A.A. Williams opens the stretch at A Colossal Weekend in Copenhagen on May 9 before appearing at Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Mystic Festival in Gdansk, and Ankea Festival in Tampere. A run of dates supporting A Perfect Circle follows in June, taking her through Italy, Croatia, and the Netherlands. Festival appearances at Brutal Assault in the Czech Republic, Arctangent in Bristol, and Pelagic Fest in Maastricht close out the summer.
