Never ones to shy away from sharp social commentary, whether it’s about the global climate crisis, the destructive nature of religion, or the isolation endured during the pandemic, Willems says of the new collection: “To me, it’s an honest representation of how I feel about the current state of humanity.”
Your Time To Shine tracklist:
The Weary
To Each Their Own
I’ll Be Damned
Your Time To Shine
The Siren Of Yersinia
