WILDES Announces Debut Album “Other Words Fail Me”, Shares New Song “Far and Wide”
London-based singer-songwriter Ella Walker, aka WILDES announced her debut album “Other Words Fail Me” would be released on October 7, 2022 via AWAL.
From the album, she unveiled the third single “Far and Wide” along with a music video on July 13, following “Lightly” and “Woman In Love”.
The track was written by Ella Walker and Declan Gaffney. Produced by St Francis Hotel. The video was directed by Ella Walker herself.
Ella Walker said of the song, “Far and Wide is a celebration of friendship. It reflects the madness and uncertainty of early adulthood and the constant change and turbulence we all go through. After neglecting them for a long time, I realised how constant and secure my friendships had become. They saved me, melting away my shame and holding me when I couldn't cope. Banding together against our shared, frenzied existences, it dawned on me that these loving and intimate friendships were more valuable than any boyfriend had ever been. The constant support and unconditional love of these people is the reason I am here today. So this is a love letter to those friends who saved me - I would do anything for you.”- The album comprises 10-track, produced by St Francis Hote.
She said of the album title, “It was a name I'd had for quite a while in my head, but the album really grew into the name - it became a lot more symbolic than I ever intended, as writing this album was the only way I could safely and honestly talk about what was going on at the time. I quite literally didn't have any other words to describe it other than the lyrics in these songs.” -
