Hannah Williams uit Bristol debuteerde in 2012 met haar solo album ‘Hill Of Feathers’. In 2016 bracht ze samen met haar Affirmations het album ‘Late Nights & Heartbreak’ uit. Wat ertoe leidde dat niemand minder dan Jay-Z haar persoonlijk belde om te vragen of hij de titeltrack van het album mocht gebruiken voor zijn eigen titelsong van het gelijknamige album 4:44. Producer No I.D. liet het nummer van Williams horen aan Jay en hij wist meteen wat hem te doen stond: "4:44' it's the crux of the album, I woke up, literally, at 4:44 in the morning to write this song... It's the title track because it's such a powerful song, and I just believe one of the best songs I've ever written”. Het stemgeluid van Hannah Williams doet denken aan Joss Stone, Dusty Springfield en Janis Joplin in. Een stem met erg veel soul, die zowel de uptempo swingers aan kan als de diepe soul ballads.
The Affirmations zijn, James Graham (Piano, Orgel en Wurlitzer), Adam Holgate (Gitaar), Adam Newton (Basgitaar), Liam Treasure (Trombone), John Pratt (Bariton Saxofoon), Nicholas Malcolm (Trompet), Hannah Nicholson (Backing Vocals), Victoria Klewin (Backing Vocals) en Jai W. Jones (Drums).
