Relations is an album of cover versions by Kathryn Williams, released by CAW Records on 17 May 2004. The album was a BBC Radio 2 Album Of The Week, and peaked at no.76 in the UK albums chart.
The two live tracks, 'Hallelujah' & 'These Days' were recorded live at the Open Air Theatre, Regents Park, London on 10 August 2003
Williams admitted in an interview with The Independent newspaper "I don't even like covers albums" but that "I'm not trying to better the originals or debase their talent ....more a case of trying subtly to put your stamp on what you consider a brilliant song"
The album received mixed reviews with The Guardian concluding "The originals were better" and UNCUT magazine called it "an unusual album of cover versions". The MusicOMH review acknowledged "this may not be to everybody's taste (but) buy It and prepare to be seduced" with Popmatters suggesting the album was "partly recognized, partly elusive, offering an irresistible invitation to explore it further."
