Feb 3, 2020Great blend of soothing, electric vibes, underlined her majestic voice. A great first album.

Mar 29, 2020The first time a listened to this album I found it enjoyable enough, but didn't think much of it. Maybe I was in the wrong headspace, I don't know. However, I found my my thoughts returning to this work often, so I imagine it must have made quite the impression on my subconscious. When I gave it another listen, I was much more appreciative, and continue to be so as I turn to it again and again.

Mar 3, 2020I Was Born Swimming is a great record from someone who has a thousand miles of potential. Let's not forget, this is her first record, and it's self-assured, confident, and just vulnerable enough to give it an edge.

Feb 11, 2020I Was Born Swimming tinkers around the edges of feeling without always plotting a clear way in. It's never an unpleasant experience, often moving. But the dots don't entirely connect.

Feb 7, 2020Throughout I Was Born Swimming, Williams pokes around in her own mind while wearing a tiny headlamp, digging up romantic evening encounters, lonely late-night drives and midnight beach jaunts. It never quite feels like daylight. But the instrumentation is such that the record never feels cold, either. You’ll just want to sink into it, like a warm bath, or maybe a 4 p.m. ocean that’s been baking in the hot sun all day.
