This is exactly what nepo / rich kids should be doing when they wanna do music.. too many of them in it for vanity and not the art.. willow clearly is in it for the ART and with her financial freedom and access gives them the ability to explore and create something unique without commercial pressure!!! well done love it!
Thank you for for expressing some deep thought I must have had! Everyone has their own journey to take, and listening to a previous song of hers I felt a sense of, something, that despite the crazy situation someone like Willow is born into, as a peon I still wish they may they find happiness and peace. May we all be reconnected in another form of existence without all these barriers.
@@FatYokelthank you, being born into a system like that must be spiritually draining. However i’m sure willow knows what shes doing, she’s aware of the manipulative tactics, and uses her gifts to liberate her soul from the shackles of the worlds perception of her. I mean we are consciousness having a cosmic dance.
@@FatYokel oh yes her soul is Definitely in the music, i feel as though we are one, so when we hear, see, or feel something that are soul resonates with, we feel a sense of familiarity. And im glad my expression resonated with you reflection. Peace
I love her too but you should look into her musical influences like St Vincent, Deftones and Haitus Kaiyote and you will see that she belongs to a certain genre.
The concept for this video is so beautiful. She runs away from what she wants. But what she wants keeps chasing after her. Its destined for her. But why run? Maybe shes scared of what will happen once she has what she wants? Maybe shes afraid of what will happen once the chase is done? Love this moment of reflection. Thank you for your art, Willow 💞🌸
@@maggiepie8810 I think the post-punk label is kind of reductive imo. Willow is more artistically fluid than most average British "crank wave" artists or groups today. Also, not everyone digs The Windmill cats all the time (i.e. Squid, Black Midi, BCNR etc), most of the acts are largely still going underground unfortunately.
Damn, Willow just sucker punched me right in the gut. I've had it on repeat all day, just letting it sink in. That line about wanting to run but remembering why you stayed? shiii.... I was supposed to be productive today, but instead I'm just laying here, staring at the ceiling, and letting WILLOW's voice wash over me. It's like she reached into my brain and pulled out all the messy, tangled feelings I've been trying to ignore. And the jazz just adds so much depth to her raw sound!
She is a glorious talent, but please listen to more jazz before saying things like this. What she's doing has been done before so many times by so many amazing jazz talents, and it erases the groundwork set. With that being said, I'm glad she has people thinking of jazz today.
@@Awais-aaa yeah, the whole album uses a jazz engine, all other genres in the album are just moving parts to the engine. A lot of people, when they think of jazz, they always think of the tropes and memes of jazz. They think of soothing, and elevator music, and saxophones and classiness. Jazz and blues is used so much in modern music it's ridiculous but no one knows because people can only think of jazz in the way films, tv and commercials fed it to us.
Yes...& despite being tattered & tore she's FULLY CLOTHED with a message that enlightens. What a unique sound she has. Thank you Willow...you ARE a flower of Life!❤
The visual and sonic storytelling were impeccable. Kumasi Washington and Willow were prrfectly paired. Would love to hear more. Nice touch showing him on FaceTime. Well done across the board. Less is truly more.
This young lady is brimming with talent and authenticity. She has a long career ahead of her if she wishes. I hope she takes care of herself and she's protected from the homogenizing greed of the music industry.
She will be appreciated even more in the future, I'm sure. Her music severely outgrows her family background and their public drama if you ask me. It is the real deal. A lot of pretentious urban "collectives" who adopt similar aesthetics think they sound like this...but they don't. I will remember Willow - The Musician.
Willow please release the deluxe on Vinyl because I love these 3 new tracks. A contrafact is a musical composition that uses chord progression(s) from a previous song to make a new song. Thank you Willow for teaching me new words.
Feeling lucky to be early & one of the first to hear this ~ 🤍 Love you Willow!!! It’s been an honor to experience your musicianship. Coping Mechanism has gotten me through, & alone/symptom of life felt like it was bringing light back into my being. It’s not just the sound but the meaning, the words you’re speaking that are so authentic & true to the human experience. I don’t know another artist that speaks it like you. Thank you!!!
I wanted to add that I am a musician and when I find myself forcing a story or sound when creating in’s artists like you that remind me art is expression. I cannot force my hand, I have to ask what it would like to say & how it wants to say it.
Wow!! This young lady has done it again. She is incredible. I love the idea of running from the very thing you wanted. When what we want appears, are we prepared to receive it?
omgomg!!! i have literally been watching the “everything stays” and “jimi” by willow that were uploaded and turned into fanmade visuals by MASSHENDRIX here on youtube and two of these visuals are giving that vibe!!!
DUUUUDE, phenomenal. From the very second I heard the piano I knew what this song would be about. It does really well at conveying the sense of uncertainty. And the vocals and everything ongmg

@@Righteoustrei I feel something very similar, maybe it's cliché or whatever but I feel it through the music lol :P Thanks for your expression.

when I tell you this woman is UNLIKE ANY OTHER, she has never failed us I love her sm
I wholeheartedly agree!❤❤❤❤
Couldn't have said it better. She's so young, but so skilled, wise, insightful... I don't think I've ever respected a young person more.
I love her too but you should look into her musical influences like St Vincent, Deftones and Haitus Kaiyote and you will see that she belongs to a certain genre.
Never heard 70s music? 😅. She’s definitely interesting and not trying to follow trends… except for needing to stand out by any means.
@@lm-il8gxd
for a song less than 3 minutes long this felt like a complete musical piece which i appreciate
Kamasi Washington is INCREDIBLE and behind the band. You need to check him out!
The concept for this video is so beautiful. She runs away from what she wants. But what she wants keeps chasing after her. Its destined for her. But why run? Maybe shes scared of what will happen once she has what she wants? Maybe shes afraid of what will happen once the chase is done? Love this moment of reflection. Thank you for your art, Willow 💞🌸
Profound
Excellent analysis. Spot on.
or she could be scared because of her lack of knowledge on what it is and why its there
So excited for this era of Willow
same !!
willow makes the exact music i want to write, she scratches the right part of my brain
Same. I loved her since I was a kid.
This budget is all music videos ever need. Respect for this.
Willow should be regarded as the queen of the pop-punk revival. She's freaking amazing. ❤
@@pitbullsarefamily I'm aware, but the genre that she's best known for is still pop punk revival.

They said pop punk@@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435
@@SolarAdrift Oh okay, I think I just misread it because I was sure it was post-punk 😓 The "..punk revival" part is what sealed it.
this track was not even close to Pop punk. maybe a couple of old ones were. this is jazz infused looks like. little funk.

Willow just takes me back to an era in music when it wasn't all studio music as much as it is today. Shout out to all the indie artists..
her music is so raw i love her
GREAT collaboration I love Kamasi Washington
Willow is reinventing Jazz for a new generation and I'm here for it
lets give props to kamasi and his ppl tho he's a genius
Not reinventing jazz, but reinventing pop.
She is a glorious talent, but please listen to more jazz before saying things like this. What she's doing has been done before so many times by so many amazing jazz talents, and it erases the groundwork set. With that being said, I'm glad she has people thinking of jazz today.
@@RaeUltra does the album have jazz elements too? Or is this just a jazz remix off a song off the album
@@Awais-aaa yeah, the whole album uses a jazz engine, all other genres in the album are just moving parts to the engine.

Love the analogy to the actual world, press, and paparazzi looking in on your life and not giving you privacy. Your craft comes with it
This woman NEVER disappoints fr 😭
nobodys doing it like this. genuine songwriting talent
This song is definitely one of the best on the album, I really love the vibe of this era so much.❤️❤️🫂
Yes...& despite being tattered & tore she's FULLY CLOTHED with a message that enlightens. What a unique sound she has. Thank you Willow...you ARE a flower of Life!❤
Yea isnt she 15
Her compositions don't allow for normal rests in the listening experience. Very dynamic and unpredictable. Impressive.
The visual and sonic storytelling were impeccable. Kumasi Washington and Willow were prrfectly paired. Would love to hear more. Nice touch showing him on FaceTime. Well done across the board. Less is truly more.
This young lady is brimming with talent and authenticity. She has a long career ahead of her if she wishes. I hope she takes care of herself and she's protected from the homogenizing greed of the music industry.
Gimme more of this jazz fusion babbyy. Love everything willow is doing with music right now. A goddess
There so very few songs that make me feel like I’m in another world and make me emotional and this one is one of em.
I love how she breathes between singing ❤
Just wow! I'm glad I jumped online! Very chaotic yet controlled. Lightening in a bottle.
She will be appreciated even more in the future, I'm sure. Her music severely outgrows her family background and their public drama if you ask me. It is the real deal. A lot of pretentious urban "collectives" who adopt similar aesthetics think they sound like this...but they don't. I will remember Willow - The Musician.
This album reminds me of Ezperanza Spalding’s Emily. Love both.
thank u! I've been searching for similar artists to Willow. i needed this. ur suggestion is spot on❤
I think that in 10 years Willow will be regarded as the Queen of JazzPunk or whatever this genre of music is. Absolutely Extraordinary
Jazz Fusion!
Willow has a an amazing persona of music she definitely is one of my favorites today along with Iniko, they both rock!
Willow never fails to bring something real authentic ethereal and pleasing to the ear and spirit it is beautiful.
Makes me wanna CRYYYYYY THIS IS TALENT ON SOULLL 😮😊😩😩
Willow please release the deluxe on Vinyl because I love these 3 new tracks.
A contrafact is a musical composition that uses chord progression(s) from a previous song to make a new song.
Thank you Willow for teaching me new words.
this duo is something i did not know i’ve been waiting for 😮💨💫
Love her music and music style . Always be you , it's beautiful
She’s stunning and so is her voice!
Real music you super underrated Willow 🫶🔥🔥
The Princess of Jazz
i was feeling sad about kamasi not being able to perform at the moment, so this was perfect timing thankyou :)
Willow has swiftly become one of my favourite artists 🖤✨️
Can't get over how good this young woman is. Don't seem to have a large team either.
kamasi been a genius, this was a beautiful unexpected collaboration
Amazing Vocals/Production Quality & Arrangement Thank Ms,W. Smith / Mr . K. Washington !🎉

This is just superb 👏 Kamasi added such a great touch, too.
This is our generations Prince; multitalented musician that’s completely unstoppable in whatever they create 🤩🤩🫂
Chilllllllll, she is great and amazing I dig that and just say that. Prince though? Sorry b
Glazers
She is her own artist and person.
she doesn;t have to be a predator though, she does her thing without fhucking up other women.😌
Y’all say anything on the internet.
Ok... This direction.... RUN, FLY move in it.... The realm of your art has been reached... Looking forward to you playing here.
So proud of her, keep making the music you want!
