Montgomery’s Trew The Star releases new anthem celebrating home + hope

Montgomery native Trevon Williams, known professionally as Trew The Star, dropped his latest R&B/soul single, “Alabama,” on Oct. 9, 2026, marking his first solo release in nearly three years.

The talented singer, songwriter and performer gained national recognition as a standout contestant on Season 24 of American Idol.

Now, he is using his spotlight to spread a powerful message of hope, unity, and homegrown pride across the Yellowhammer State.

For Trevon Williams, crafting a song dedicated to Alabama was a direct reflection of core memories rooted in family, faith and community. The foundation of the “Alabama” track stems from authentic moments spent connecting with loved ones across the state.

“The memory that comes to mind most is being at my aunt’s house in Alberta, Alabama for the holidays, playing basketball in the yard, and cracking jokes with family. Those moments, along with the love I receive across the state, made me want to give something back to the people.”
