After the release of single ‘Hide The Cracks’ which garnered support from Huw Stephens, John Kennedy, Chris Hawkins, Tom Robinson as well being included in Amazing Radio’s top 100 tracks of 2011. South London’s Sarah Williams White returns with AA side single ‘If I Smile At You’ / ‘Take Your Time’, due for release on 16th April 2012.
Influenced by the likes of Jamie Lidell, Erykah Badu, Prince & PJ Harvey, SWW is a songwriter & producer who produces a mix of urban, pop and soul that oozes a laidback contemporary feel.
Produced by herself and Andy Spence (New Young Pony Club), ‘If I Smile At You’ fuses slow-grooving R&B with syncopated beats and a quavering melody to create an infectious slice of warped pop. In her own words it’s a song about “the infectiousness of smiling at people, even strangers, and what it takes to get someone where you want them”.
‘Take Your Time’ on the other hand is a track about slowing things down and enjoying the little moments; a theme that is helped by the charm of White’s feel-good harmonies.
The AA-side will be available as a digital download from 16th April 2011, along with a Timmy Rickard remix of ‘Take Your Time’, through Minds On Fire.
Also Sarah will be appearing on Dan Le Sac’s new single ‘Play Along’, taken from his debut solo album.
