Certain songs just whisk you away to a different time entirely. Taylor Williams, this alt-R&B and indie talent hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, does precisely that with his track "What About Me?"
The song’s deeply embedded in that classic 1970s soul vibe—you know, the kind that just radiates pure healing energy.
Lyrically, it’s beautifully simple. Explores heartbreak in the most genuine way. That chorus though—"What about me"—gets delivered with such heartfelt richness that you’ll honestly forget this isn’t some lost gem from the ’70s, when legends like Al Green, Bill Withers, and Aretha Franklin were absolutely dominating every radio station.
At 3 minutes and 16 seconds, this is definitely one you’ll find yourself replaying. Perfect for those slow sway moments.
The instrumentation? Delicate keys supported by warm organ tones, plus these wonderfully laid-back, unhurried drums. But honestly, it’s Williams’ vocals that completely steal the show, carrying you through every moment of his heartbreak journey.
He hits those high notes so effortlessly. Those sustained "ohs" and ad-libs with just flawless breath control—seriously impressive stuff.
