Official press release:
WILLOW announces her new album, lately I feel EVERYTHING out July 16th on
MSFTSMusic/Roc Nation via Polydor in the UK. The album is available for pre-order/pre-save today and features Travis Barker, Avril Lavigne and more.
WILLOW has also released another song from the forthcoming record – “Lipstick”. WILLOW says:
“I just wanted to let loose with this album. I wanted to have fun and be young and not be so existential and worrying all the time.”
“Lipstick” follows the release of the explosive first single “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l” feat. Travis Barker.
At only 20 years old, WILLOW has spent half her life in the music industry. With lately I feel EVERYTHING, a decade of growth both in the industry and as a young woman come to a head. Her new single and LP is a love letter to that constant evolution.
She began working on the album in 2020, during the pandemic. With all the extra time on her hands at home, she began recording demos that she would later re-record when she felt like she could safely enter a studio. It was a new process for her, born out of caution, but it helped her capture the rawness of her new sound. On the forthcoming record, WILLOW channels the pop-punk and emo heroes she adored as a teenager, like Avril Lavigne, My Chemical Romance and Paramore. She says:
“I thought this was a really dope outlet for a new energy I wanted to bring to my music.”
“t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l” feat. Travis Barker was originally unveiled via Beats1’s Zane Lowe as a New Music Daily and has since garnered both critical praise and commercial success. WILLOW recently performed the single on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Watch here:
