World’s Gone Wrong

A heavy, swamp-soaked fusion of Delta blues and roots reggae. Williams delivers a weary but defiant state-of-the-union through a haze of analog grit.

January 23, 2026 · Highway 20 Records

A heavy, humid sense of social exhaustion balanced by a stubborn, blues-rooted resilience.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, dub-influenced bassline on track 5 that anchors her most explicit political commentary.
The way her voice cracks with exhaustion during the final minute of Black Tears.
The sudden, jagged electric guitar solo that pierces the slow-burn tension of the title track.
