Gone is the\r\nsolemn, country-indebted crooner with the velvet voice - in his place comes a\r\nplayful, shapeshifting creature.\r\nFollowing the release of his second album, 2018's Make Way For\r\nLove, Williams' toured the world, playing major festivals and collaborating with\r\nLorde, Yo-Yo Ma and Florence Welch. He also forged a fledgling acting career\r\nwith roles in films The True History of the Kelly Gang and Netflix series Sweet\r\nTooth, as well as a cameo in Oscar winning film A Star Is Born.
