Praised for her “deep, soulful vocals that sing lyrics imbued with classic themes of love and loss” (Interview Magazine), LA-based alt R&B singer-songwriter Dana Williams is contemplating the end of the world in her new single, out today. Finding it easy to get lost in the frenzied illusion of productivity, Dana wrote “End of the World” about the search for human meaning. In her own words, “Imagine the world is ending, how/ who would you like to spend your time with? What matters in the end?” 

Swooning with her signature jazzy nonchalance, the poignant track looks at loneliness, authenticity, and further commentates on society’s obsession with business, while carefully alluding to the imminent threat of global warming.

The accompanying Sebastien Nuta (Giu Giu) directed visual sees Dana clad in a sleek, black power suit and many more breathtaking looks – her stylist, Marco Milani, is the Fashion Director for the brand STAUD and does celebrity styling - as she reflects the song’s message of slowing down. 

"The wardrobe looks began with the image of a woman on top of the world, tackling any obstacle thrown at them in this fast-paced life,” Milani shares“Whether it be a sleek A.W.A.K.E. MODE skirt suit or a shimmering sequin dress inspired by the frenzy of being a performer, the outfits give us a range of different powerful women striving for harmony."
