It is an easy descriptor foisted on many modern muses, but it’s also clear that ‘WILLOW knew who she was from a very early age’. Watching her morphing and molting from child star to well-rounded artist while holding tight to her individuality is an all too rare blessing. In the self-directed video for ‘wanted’, WILLOW shadowplays- and -picks around; seeing herself while being seen. She dodges, confronts and gets her collaborator, thee legendary Kamasi Washington, on the sax and on the line. The song, a well-grooved ode to the taut bowstring that connects desire and doubt. Must stan.

ceremonial contrafact (empathogen deluxe) by WILLOW is out now on Three Six Zero.
