Info zu lately I feel EVERYTHING

At only 20 years old, Willow has spent half her life in the music industry. With her fifth album coming this summer, a decade of growth both in the industry and as a young woman come to a head. Her new single and album 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, she channels the alt rock, 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.

"lately I feel EVERYTHING demonstrates that there’s more than one string to WILLOW’S bow, with naïve and Come Home presenting a real maturity to her songwriting. The slower tempo of the former allows its creator’s substantial vocal range to shine, while Come Home pairs a more reigned-in sound with some biting riffs and a dark ambiance. Shouty album closer ¡BREAKOUT!, meanwhile, kicks things up a gear once more for a feisty, punk-driven conclusion that’s a joy to behold. Calm and collected when it needs to be but by no means lacking in heart and passion, this album is a fine collection of songs by an artist intent on forging her own path. It feels like there’s no stopping WILLOW’s rise." (Jake Richardson, kerrang.com)

WILLOW

Willow Smith
was born Willow Camille Reign Smith in 2000, the third child of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Of course, Willow grew up in a household filled with music and entertainment, and knew from an early age that she wished to follow in her parents’s footsteps.

Her first film role was alongside her Dad, Will Smith, in the film I Am Legend (2007.) Immediately after, she appeared in Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, a role that garnered Willow her first award, a Young Artist Award. The following year, she lent her voice to the character of Gloria in the film Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Within a few years, however, Willow expressed a desire to foray into music as well, and with the support of her parents she embarked on a career as a singer.

Willow’s first release was the single “Whip My Hair,” which immediately performed quite well, shooting to the top of the charts and reaching platinum status. “21st Century Girl” followed, and soon Willow Smith found herself opening for Justin Bieber on his tour of Europe. Next came “Fireball,” alongside Nicki Minaj, and then “Do it Like Me (Rockstar).”

For such a young star only just beginning a career, Willow Smith has already earned some critical acclaim and recognition for her talents. Aside from her Young Artist Award, she has also earned nods from the NAACP Image Awards and the BET Awards. In addition to planning for a future album release, Willow Smith has joined her older brothers in a partnership with Hasbro as ambassadors for Project Zambia, which seeks to support young children in the country who have been orphaned by the AIDS epidemic.
