I first saw Marlon at the Metro in Sydney... backing up First Aid Kit. Since seen him sooo many times. If you want a gem, try Marlon with Florence and the Machine
Lucky enough to see Marlon in concert in Civic Theatre Invercargill NZ, it was amazing his voice is breathtaking my teen who is in a choir loved it especially as he was also choir trained growing up in Canterbury New Zealand.
Great singer, love Marlon. 😘 His last album is really good and he's a humble but oh so talented singer on scene as well, tremendous. What a shame he's not more famous! Or what a chance because I was able to attend to a concert in a small venue.... I do wish him.more fame because he deserves it.
He also has a bit of a Roy Orbison sound. So much so that while Bradley Cooper was writing and recording A Star is Borne, he heard an NPR Concert feed of Marlon Playing and was so impressed he bought tickets to his show in town the following night. He managed to get an audience privately with him and got in a scene in the movie doing a Roy Orbison Trubute . Unfortunately most of Marlon's screen time was cut short much to Bradley's remorse. :-)
Wonderful, unique voice. He is very briefly in A Star is Born, singing Roy Orbison with Brandi Carlisle; Orbison is probably the best comparison for his voice, although Marlon's songs are all his own.
Have been very fortunate to see Marlon Williams live. Love his work - an amazing talent. You may want to check out another talented New Zealand singer with awesome control and tone - Teeks - check out WAVES ruclips.net/video/zpucfIjRAFo/видео.html
Not Elvis. Not Roy Orbison. He is… and I dare say it…better! HE. IS. MARLON. WILLIAMS. Angel Elvis and Angel Roy had an Angel baby it is fkng Marlon Williams. He could sing the phone book and it would be amazing
One of New Zealands finest.
@@pmbbmp yes, she is an amazing artist.
Thanks for doing my request and good choice by other party as well hehe :-)
He has the most soulful voice, he has some amazing recordings and is a Kiwi to boot. Rock on
Marlon always sounds like he has that Irish lilt to me... very very tuneful... love him.
Goosebumps
Marlon is great we just saw him live in PA great ! But he has many great songs.
I love being introduced to artists I don’t know. Great request & reaction! I’m off to do some research 😆✌🏼
Do you happen to stumble across his acting in the series sweet tooth? He does an amazing version of the boxer in that series.
Thanks for this request. He has a great voice. Never heard of him but will be checking out more of his music. Definately reminds me of Elvis.

G'day mates. I've seen Marlon a couple of time and he always delights. An amazing voice.
Please listen to Marlon sing O Holy Night . It is from Paul Kelly's Christmas Train album. He is superb and song has a haunting tone to it.

You're correct, Marlon has had singing training which is why his pitch, breathing and general skill is so apparent
Only at a young age...love our Ngai Tahu boy..😉😉😉
Such a unique voice one of ours here downunder❤️
One of best talents of last few years. Shame that he's relatively unknown
Marlon Williams is the shit

Our Marlon Williams also acts in the Sweet tooth series on Netflix...
hahahaha! My reaction the first time too. He's from New Zealand.

Saw him sing this song at WOMAD, outstanding! The experience of Marlon live is incomparable. He is unique.
I think he's got the same tone as Elvis, but better
I agree he is Amazing I am questioning whether reincarnation is real, definitely Elvis 😳
He started in opera
That is not correct...see his Utube CHANNEL.
Roy Orbison voice
Sounds more like Roy Orbison.
I here Elvis 100%
And he doesn’t even look like he’s trying.
Not Elvis. Not Roy Orbison. He is… and I dare say it…better! HE. IS. MARLON. WILLIAMS. Angel Elvis and Angel Roy had an Angel baby it is fkng Marlon Williams. He could sing the phone book and it would be amazing
Someone needs to say it-
He's better than elvis.
Maori heritage and school choir comes to the fore. Nice choice.
What a voice! Compare Tim Buckley's cover of "Dolphins" 🐬💙

He sounds more like Marty Robbins than Elvis IMO
Notes of Elvis yes, but more Roy Orbison crossed with Chris Isaak methinks.
