What’s next for WILLOW:

WILLOW says the record is inspired by pop-punk influencers like Paramore, My Chemical Romance and Avril Lavigne. She also confirmed that Lavigne will be featured on the record in an unreleased song that is TBA. It will be a special treat that shows signs of embodying the sounds WILLOW is promising.

The releases have been received well by fans to this point. “T r a n s p a r e n t s o u l” reached a spot in the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 10 on Billboard’s US Hot Rock and Alternative song’s chart.

Listen to both singles via Spotify below:

Fans were pleasantly surprised with the pop-punk sound of “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l,” and will likely trend in the same direction for her rock sound approach on “Lipstick.” It is a heavier song with bellowing vocals that show her growth as a mainstream vocalist. It has sludgy drums and catchy hooks. It presents hope that her record will cover all aspects of rock that mainstream audiences will adore.

Be sure to keep up with WILLOW on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
