Today, WILLOW has released her new album, lately I feel EVERYTHING on MSFTSMusic/Roc Nation. The album features Travis Barker, Avril Lavigne and previously unreleased collaborations with Tierra Wack, Cherry Glazer and Ayla Tesler-Mabe. “lately I feel EVERYTHING is a musical expression of trying to perceive both joy and pain through an equally compassionate and playful lens,” says WILLOW. Of the 11 tracks on the album, WILLOW had previously released “Lipstick,” and the the explosive first single “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l feat. Travis Barker.” In the month since its release, “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l feat. Travis Barker” has amassed 36 million streams and became WILLOW’s first Hot 100 entry. The song, currently #18 on the Alternative Chart was the #1 most added single at Alternative Radio last week and the #2 greatest gainer, jumping up 8 spots. Today, WILLOW released a visualizer for the pop-punk anthem, “G R O W – WILLOW, Avril Lavigne feat. Travis Barker.”
All songs on lately I feel EVERYTHING, were written by WILLOW with production and co-writing on select tracks from her longtime collaborator Tyler Cole. The album was recorded in Los Angeles at Conway Studios with additional drums by Matt Chamberlain. WILLOW plays guitar throughout.
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 album is a love letter to that constant evolution. She began working on the record 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. “I thought this was a really dope outlet for a new energy I wanted to bring to my music,” she says.
