Williams’ new single, “Come Close,” is the second release from RETRODELIA. This summer anthem captures the rush of emotions that flood your senses when love sparks. With its infectious, upbeat and flirty vibe, this pure pop, bass heavy single will leave you grooving.

“Recording this track was an absolute blast! We couldn’t help but laugh at how much our necks would hurt from the constant nodding and bopping along. The camaraderie and synergy in the studio made the experience truly unforgettable. My producers, Heath West and Spencer Cheyne, perfectly understood my vision and skillfully allowed the blend of nostalgia and retro vibes to shine through. Creating this entire EP was such a joy, but “Come Close” holds a special place in my heart as it’s undeniably the most upbeat and groovy track on RETRODELIA.” – Kayla
