Williams's Nonesuch debut album, Acadia, was released to critical acclaim in October. Her most sonically expansive work to date, Acadia is nine original, mostly instrumental tracks written and produced by Williams, and features her on various guitars, banjo, calabash drum, tap shoes, and kora. She is joined by an eclectic cast of collaborators—including Immanuel Wilkins, Dom Flemons, Aoife O’Donovan, William Tyler, Darlingside, and others—creating a folk music that reflects the wide range of musical influences that have inspired her throughout her life. You can get it and hear it here.
"Williams is now making some of the most purely beautiful guitar music anywhere," exclaims the Guardian. Mojo, in its four-star review, says: "Forgoing cynicism, she looks out on the world with unbound curiosity and zeal, every coruscant melody and glowing harmony another discovery." Uncut, naming Acadia an Album of the Year, declares its songs "so full of imagination and life-enhancing radiance that you could wallow in their fragrance all day. The technique is dazzling ... Gorgeous and then some."
Yasmin Williams recently stopped by the NPR offices in Washington, DC, to perform a Tiny Desk Concert of songs from Acadia and more. "Williams is a fingerstyle guitarist who taps, slaps and slides up and down the fretboard of her instrument with a commanding sense of scenery that flickers between the strings," says NPR's Lars Gotrich. "Storytellers build worlds; at the Tiny Desk, Williams invites us into hers." You can watch it here:
