Astrid Williamson
Here Come The Vikings
One Little Indian
Astrid Williamson鈥檚 fourth solo album
Here Come The Vikings is an eclectic mix of electric pop and smooth ballads. Redefining herself as an artist, Williamson is revealed to be a multi-talented musician and songwriter. When asked why the move to electric, Williamson sardonically states: 鈥淚 was losing 10 BPM every album, so I thought I鈥檇 plug in and sort things out鈥 and sort things out she does.
Shut Your Mouth with its innovative use of electric beats and vocal mixing is the pinnacle track of Here Come The Vikings. The rhyming, singsong lyrics like 鈥淧lease forgive my pursuit of you / but I have to get to the root of you鈥 are sung with power and confidence. Crashing Minis is fixed with Williamson鈥檚 signature haunting piano melodies and naked voice.
Here Come The Vikings has a track for every listener and every mood. It is an album you want to listen to from start to finish, and Williamson is an artist you鈥檒l want to keep an eye on.
