Marlon Williams<br />

doesn’t forget about home<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

MARLON Williams has opened<br />

for Bruce Springsteen, won a<br />

Silver Scroll, and played Later<br />

. . . with Jools Holland.<br />

And that is only the tip of the<br />

iceberg when it comes to the<br />

Lyttelton songwriter’s recent<br />

achievements.<br />

But in the midst of<br />

international success, the<br />

27-year-old hasn’t forgotten<br />

where he calls home.<br />

In the music video for<br />

Williams’ latest single, What’s<br />

Chasing You, eagle-eyed people<br />

will spot the New Brighton Pier<br />

featured in the background.<br />

The video, released on Friday,<br />

was shot on South Brighton<br />

beach by Christchurch filmmaker<br />

Martin Sagadin. It<br />

features a swaggering Williams<br />

who seemingly bullies other<br />

beach-goers with dance moves.<br />

Said Williams of his latest<br />

song title: “It’s an earnest<br />

question. It’s the only thing I’ve<br />

ever really wanted to know of<br />

BEACH SINGING: Marlon Williams’ new What’s Chasing You<br />

video was shot on South New Brighton beach. (Right) – the<br />

cover from his latest album due out next month<br />

love, if not to dispel them then<br />

at the very least to understand,<br />

empathize and let’s be honest,<br />

compare hands. I’m not<br />

convinced truly understanding<br />

another’s woes would really<br />

bring anyone happiness, but I<br />

am a nosey boy. What’s chasing<br />

you?”<br />

The single is the latest release<br />

from the now Melbournebased<br />

songwriter’s upcoming<br />

sophmore album Make Way for<br />

Love, which comes out February<br />

16. The album was written in the<br />

wake of Williams’ break-up with<br />

another acclaimed Lyttelton<br />

songwriting talent Aldous<br />

Harding.<br />

“Then I wrote about 15 songs<br />

in a month,” he recalled.<br />

Harding’s vocals feature<br />

alongside Williams on the<br />

record’s debut single Nobody<br />

Gets What They Want Anymore.<br />

A song which tackles the way<br />

ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 3 MARCH <strong>2018</strong><br />

the pair attempted to navigate<br />

their separate demanding<br />

careers until they couldn’t.<br />

Williams spent three weeks<br />

tucked away in the port town,<br />

a few houses down from his<br />

family home, with Lyttelton<br />

producer Ben Edwards and<br />

backing band The Yarra Benders<br />

working on the record’s preproduction.<br />

They then flew 12,000km to<br />

record the album in the United<br />

States.<br />

Williams is following the<br />

release of Make Way for Love<br />

with a 50 date global tour,<br />

including a night at The<br />

Foundry on May 23. Tickets<br />

avaliable through Ticketmaster.<br />
