Stories Behind The Songs

About "Kiss Or Go Crazy"

Backed by syncopated organ, funky percussion, and blasts of brass, the WRLDFMS Tony Williams sets a carnal mood with "Kiss or Go Crazy." It's a romantic song with soul and swagger, delivered by a golden-voiced crooner who's ready to turn down the lights and let the sparks fly. "Baby, there's nothing sweeter than you," he sings during the chorus, while cascading layers of background vocals echo his sweet come-ons like a pack of devoted wingmen. "'Crazy in Love,' 'Crazy For You,' 'Lets Go Crazy'…it seems like 'crazy' is the trendy thing to be," says Williams. "'Kiss or Go Crazy' is my 'double down' on a sure bet. This is the feeling you get after being dealt BOTH jokers!"

About "Anymore" ft. Chandler Moore

The WRLDFMS Tony Williams showcased his vocal chops with appearances on for KING & COUNTRY's Number 1 hit "Amen (Reborn)" and Kanye West's Grammy-nominated Donda during the first stretch of 2021, but it's "Anymore" — his final release of the year — that truly demonstrates the range of Williams' abilities. Laced with upright piano, horns, and plenty of vocal acrobatics, "Anymore" is a soulful slow jam about pain, emotional baggage, and helping hands. Guest artist Chandler Moore (from Maverick City Music) gets a piece of the action, too, resulting in a tag-teamed duet that blends melancholy R&B with the uplift of gospel and fluid freedom of jazz. 

About "Everybody Knows" ft. Wale

"Our chemistry is fire; our temperature is oh my god," The WRLDFMS Tony Williams sings during "Everybody Knows," a beat-driven soul song about the magnetism between two soon-to-be lovers. It's a modern track rooted in Williams' old-school influences, with horn blasts that highlight his longtime funk influences and a piano progression that nods to his gospel-singing past. For fans who first discovered The WRLDFMS Tony Williams through his work with Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Nas, "Everybody Knows" also features an appearance by multi-platinum rapper Wale, continuing the hip-hop thread that's run throughout Williams' Grammy-winning career. Even so, "Everybody Knows" is something fresh, marking the beginning of a new chapter in a story that continues to unfold.

About The WRLDFMS Tony Williams

The WRLDFMS Tony Williams is known for his acclaimed solo work as well as his featured appearances on songs by Jay Z, Kanye West, Nas, and others. A soulful innovator whose music bridges the gaps between R&B, gospel, funk, and forward-thinking pop, he made his national debut on Kanye West’s multi-platinum debut, The College Dropout, which featured Williams’ vocals on multiple tracks. Released in 2004, the album launched both artists’ careers. While collaborating with dozens of other artists, Williams utilized his talents not only as a vocalist but also as a songwriter. He sang on Jay-Z’s “A Star Is Born,” duetted with gospel queen Patti LaBelle on West’s “Roses”, and co-wrote “Bonjour” for Nas. More importantly, he continued creating his own music, marking his solo debut with 2012’s King or the Fool - An Opera: Volume 1 — an album that featured collaborations with John Legend, Raheem DeVaughn, and Mint Condition’s Stokley Williams — and turning a new leaf with 2021’s “Everybody Knows,” recorded alongside rapper Wale.
