It is on “Melt”, however, where Williams reaches her apex and delivers an unforgettable moment from an unforgettable record. Pain seeps through the slow-building “All I Asked For (Was To End It All)” and the emotionally revealing “I’m Fine”. Throughout the LP’s eight songs, Williams enchants with her tales of isolation, anxiety, suffering, and an awakening. Her music, however, is not the only aspect of her limitless talents that creates a trembling effect. The London-based artist masterfully balances bleakness with beauty, heaviness with levitating lightness, and harshness with haunting allure. The record is a starkly enrapturing pageantry of Gothic post-rock and post-classical. Williams album, Forever Blue, is one of the most impressive debuts of the past five years.
