[quote]Shawn Williams released her 5th studio album "Sulking In Love" - produced
by GRAMMY Award winner Mark Howard (Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams, U2,
etc.) and featuring legendary musicians such as Michael Chaves (guitar -
Marianne Faithfull, Leonard Cohen); Daryl Johnson (bass - The Neville Brothers,
Emmylou Harris ); and Omari Neville (drums - The Neville Brothers) - it is a
collection of songs that seamlessly weave together a multitude of genres.

Hailing from the melting pot of New Orleans, Shawn Williams makes music that's
every bit as diverse and hauntingly soulful as her hometown. She calls it
"alt-rock-countrybilly, serial killer blues," carving out an atmospheric sound
that blends amplified guitars, honest lyrics, and nocturnal arrangements into
her own brand of Americana-noire."I've always been drawn to dark themes," she
explains. "Maybe it comes from being in New Orleans. Maybe it comes from my love
of the desert. It just flows out of me from somewhere else."

"The unbridled Williams sings of lust and longing at the dark end of the
street," gushes The Advocate, alternately describing the songwriter's sound as
"hillbilly-post-punk-goth-rock" and "Hank Williams meets The Smiths meets
Siouxsie and the Banshees." Defying categorisation, Shawn Williams wears her
broken heart on her sleeve . It's an album of dynamic shifts, its full-throttle
highs and lonely lows mirroring the roller-coaster ride of heartbreak itself,
and Williams sings each song in a voice flecked with both the twang of
alt-country and the pissed-off power of alt-rock. She makes her home there, in
the grey area between genres, planting her flag in territory that runs beside
her influences, yet is still distinctly her own. Yes, there's darkness at the
end of that street. But there's also melody, guitar-driven muscle, and the
cutting insights of a songwriter who, like her New Orleans home, isn't afraid to
embrace both the wild thrills and dangerous possibilities that come with a life
lived after sundown.[/quote
