A window into autism, the reality, the humanness of all the songs can only be described as sacred. Each word, each note, and the dance of the two, give glimpses into the soul of the artist and the universe.
Bio / Background
Autistic singer songwriter, Donna Williams, is a lyrically powerful and vocally moving artist with an idiosyncratic style and a voice of striking honesty and warmth. Five years on from her first album, Nobody Nowhere, Mutation is her amazing second album and individual tracks are also available on iTunes.
Donna Williams' voice, whilst a style and sound all its own has been compared with artists like Jewel, Corinne Bailey Rae, Nathalie Maines (of the Dixie Chicks), Tori Amos, Nanci Griffith, Juliana Hatfield, Helen Reddy and Karen Carpenter.
The Mutation CD has a classy, contemporary surrealism that combines great, incredibly catchy music with soaring atmospheric spoken word pieces and songs , awe inspiring musicianship and scintillating effects yet maintains a surprisingly 'natural' feel to it.
Mutation is as moving as it is socially challenging, like in the contemporary dance track, 'Subtlety'.
↓ more ↓Then in other tracks like 'Mirror', she hauntingly combines poetry and spoken word with a moving song and beautiful, pure vocals, in a way that almost creates almost the essence of ghosts within one's own world. She confronts discrimination in tracks like 'All Be Happy'and addresses the essential soul survival inherent in defending the right to be oneself in 'Simply Be'.
The Mutation CD is also filled with humour and quirky surrealism like in poetic, atmospheric spoken-word tracks like 'When Mitzy Flew' and the haunting poem of 'Before Mind'is intricately woven into a musical backdrop and leads seemlessly, like the other spoken word tracks into the abundance of song tracks in between.
Mutation is a revolutionary album, challenging the right of society to segregate and subjugate its citizens like in her title track 'Mutation'.
Mutation is powerful musical therapy that covers the whole spectrum of emotions and delivers you gently back to shore after the adventure.
You'll find belonging and understanding in 'Mutation' and the album includes a lyrics booklet with lyrics to all songs on the album.
Don't forget to also check out Donna's first CD,
'Nobody Nowhere'.
