Hannah Williams, the British soul hurricane who sensationally became part of Jay-Z's chart-topping 4:44 album, is primed and ready for her own national and international breakthrough. Williams turned heads worldwide when the hip-hop superstar sampled her heart-stopping vocals on 'Late Nights & Heartbreak' for the title track, '4.44' on his 2017 album. Now Hannah and her exemplary, Bristol-based band the Affirmations deliver a definitive career statement with the drop-dead soulful new album 50 Foot Woman which will be released October 18th on the Milan based imprint Record Kicks. The album captures all of the visceral power of the band's increasingly legendary live performances. Shades of classic Soul and Psychedelic Funk blend uniquely with modern-day flavors on a record destined to set the soul agenda for 2019 and far beyond. "I've never been as proud of anything in my entire career" says Hannah. Born in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, Williams' father was a musically gifted minister, and her mother let her join the church choir at the age of six. Hannah could read music before she could properly read words, and when she discovered soul by listening with her mum to Motown and Bill Withers, there was no turning back. After a 2012 debut with her previous band the Tastemakers, it was 2016's Late Nights & Heartbreak that announced the arrival of Hannah Williams and the Affirmations. But little did she know that Jay-Z was listening. One day, at her then-day job running the music department at the University of Winchester, he sent her a text. Once she'd established that it wasn't a wind-up, and summoned the courage to call him back, she learned that Jay-Z's producer, No I.D., had played him Hannah's track to inspire his response to Beyoncé's Lemonade, on which she sang of his infidelities. Williams was as in the dark about how 'Late Nights & Heartbreak' would be used until 4:44 dropped. But the substantial sample of her voice opened doors she never dreamed of. "It was an incredible catalyst," she says, "as a change in our collective career, and getting a global audience. Suddenly, there were millions of predominantly American hip-hop fans listening to my voice, going 'Is this from the '60s? Is she dead?'" What followed was a year of the band's widest-ever touring including an invitation to perform at Central Park Summer Stage NY, Toronto Jazz Festival and Brooklyn Bowl NY and expanded audiences in continental Europe where she and the Affirmations had already made a mark. Then came the burning determination to make the record of their lives. The captivating 50 Foot Woman is that album, produced by Shawn Lee, a respected presence on the funk/soul scene whose credits include Amy Winehouse, Lana Del Rey and Alicia Keys. Lee has released five solo albums as Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra on San Francisco label Ubiquity Records and is also one half of the cool melodic pop duo Young Gun Silver Fox. Now the world will hear what the cognoscenti have known for a while: that Hannah Williams is the real deal, and sings from her very soul. "I feel like my performance comes from my solar plexus," she says. "The emotional side of it is so intrinsic; I can't take it away from what I do."

Solid Paddle Solid Price
Color: Blue*1
I am a beginner with Pickleball. However, I started using a $5 from 5 below and this paddle was a huge upgrade. The grip felt really good, solid in my hand with a little cushion. It was a solid and much sturdier than the previous paddle. This was a small investment in a great hobby that anyone can enjoy. I also think they really take care of you by giving you a case so it does not get scratched. I highly recommend. There truly was no downside I could think of to getting this. If you are a beginner like me, its a quality paddle at a quality price. no brainer

Just what you need!
Color: Green Black*4, Color: Green Black*4
This set is just what we needed for the 4 of us to play a nice game of pickleball. The quality is good, the carrying case keeps it all organized, and we keep it conveniently in the trunk of our car. It’s held up well even though it’s taken some beatings. Unless you’re a professional, it’s just what you need! Nice grip, handle is the right size, the weight is light; making it easy to use, and it’s created no issues with gameplay. Great deal for good quality equipment!

Pickleball Pandemonium: A Hilarious Mother’s Day Misadventure with a Top-Notch Paddle Set
Color: Blue*4
Let me spin you a tale of how I, the hopeful boyfriend of my girlfriend with two adorable-but-feral nieces, ages 3 and 5, tried to be the cool guy on Mother’s Day with this USAPA-approved fiberglass pickleball set. Spoiler: it was less “heartwarming family moment” and more “backyard dodgeball with extra chaos.” This set, though? Absolute gold for adults—just don’t hand it to toddlers unless you’re ready to star in a slapstick comedy. So, picture me, all bright-eyed, pulling out this slick pickleball set at my girlfriend’s sister’s place. The kit comes with paddles, balls, and a good-quality case that’s sturdy enough to survive a trip through an airport baggage claim. I’m thinking I’ll set up a mini court, show the nieces what pickleball’s all about, and maybe earn some “best boyfriend” points. In my head, it’s all slow-mo high-fives and cute kid giggles. In reality? I handed those paddles to the girls, and it was like arming gremlins with medieval weaponry. These paddles are *chef’s kiss* for grown-ups. The fiberglass surface gives a satisfying pop when you hit the ball, and the handles? Oh, they feel nice—comfy grips with just the right amount of cushion, like shaking hands with a friendly lumberjack. Plus, they’ve got some good weight to them—not so heavy you’re winded, but enough heft to feel like you’re swinging something legit. The balls are what you’d expect: standard, bouncy, perforated orbs that do their job without any surprises. But for kids? Disaster. The 5-year-old, who I’m calling Paddle-Wielding Warlord, grabs her paddle and swings it like she’s auditioning for *Gladiator*. First shot, she nearly takes out her 3-year-old sister, Tiny Catapult, who’s just vibing with her own paddle. I’m ducking near-headshots, yelling, “Gentle! Gentle!” while my girlfriend’s cackling so hard she’s got tears. Then there’s the ball situation. I lob one softly, thinking they’ll tap it back. Nope. Warlord yeets it across the yard like she’s gunning for the moon. It’s gone—probably chilling in the neighbor’s birdbath. Tiny Catapult, not one to be outdone, hurls her entire paddle, which spins through the air like a rogue frisbee. Flowerpots are in peril, my girlfriend’s sister is shouting about her azaleas, and I’m just trying to keep the nieces from turning this into a full-on demolition derby. The case, bless its durable heart, sat there safely holding the spare balls, mocking my poor life choices. Later, when the kids were safely bribed with ice cream and the adults got a turn, the set shone. My girlfriend and I rallied in the driveway, and those paddles felt like an extension of my arm—smooth, balanced, and ready for action. The USAPA approval means you could take these to a real court and not look like a chump. But for the toddler crowd? Yikes. Get those foam kiddie paddles that can’t double as blunt objects. This set’s a 10/10 for adult fun, with a bomb-proof case and gear that feels pro-level. Just don’t expect the under-6 crew to do anything but turn your yard into a *Mad Max* reenactment.

Great for the amateur player
Color: Black*2
Good paddles, especially for people new to the game. Much better than the mediocre padel’s and not far off from the carbon fiber ones.
