WILLOW
WILLOW has established herself as one of her generation’s most fearless and boundary-pushing artists. Renowned for her powerful vocals, introspective songwriting, and ever-evolving sonic identity, she continues to redefine contemporary music through innovation, authenticity, and intention. From acclaimed live performances including NPR’s Tiny Desk and Saturday Night Live appearances to billions of global streams, WILLOW has cemented herself as a singular creative force with undeniable cultural influence.
Over the course of her critically acclaimed discography, WILLOW has traversed an expansive range of sounds — from the neo-soul explorations of 2015’s Ardipithecus and the psychedelic folk textures of 2019’s WILLOW, to the pop-punk energy of 2021’s lately I feel EVERYTHING and the experimental hard rock of 2022’s <COPINGMECHANISM>. Her 2024 album empathogen earned two Grammy nominations and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, further solidifying her reputation as an artist unafraid to challenge genre conventions. Alongside critical acclaim, WILLOW has achieved major commercial success, including over 1 billion streams on her viral hit “Wait A Minute!” WILLOW most recently released her eighth solo studio album and second of the year, The Thread. A musical offering imbued with feminine softness – The Thread is an intoxicating blend of pop melodies, supported by syncopated rhythms, creating a listening experience that feels both intimate and ceremonial in its pursuit of an open heart. The Thread follows petal rock black, a project written, performed, and produced entirely by WILLOW. Blending jazz, classical, and indigenous tribal influences into a meditative, genre-defying soundscape, the album features collaborations with George Clinton, Tune-Yards, and Kamasi Washington.
