A.A. Williams releases cover of Placebo's "Without You I'm Nothing"
Ahead of their extensive US tour with Sleep Token, A.A. Williams shares a cover version of Placebo’s “Without You I’m Nothing”.
The track comes accompanied by a typically intense video directed by Fraser West who Williams collaborated with on previous singles “Evaporate” and “The Echo”.
"When I first discovered Placebo as a teen, I felt as if I’d found a world just for me. Barely a day went by without their songs in my headphones, their explorations of angst, frustration and alienation speaking to me like nothing I’d heard before. Simultaneously brand new and familiar, I felt that I’d been understood for the first time, all the while being fed with musical styles I wasn’t familiar with - glam, goth, electro and punk were all introduced to me through Placebo’s melancholy lens," Williams says.
"I’ve dreamed of covering a Placebo song for years. I think it always had to be "Without You I’m Nothing", a song of longing and loss that for me will always feel current and relevant, as someone who always felt that human connection was the key to happiness - and as an outsider looking in, as someone uncomfortable in their own skin.
Additionally, A.A. Williams has announced news of a UK and European tour, later this year, including a headline show at The Dome in North London on 11 November.
A.A. Williams' cover version of Placebo's "Without You I'm Nothing" is out now.
