Willow is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Willow. It was released on July 19, 2019, through MSFTS Music and Roc Nation. The album includes a feature from her brother Jaden, and is the follow-up to her last project The 1st (2017). The album was written and produced entirely by Willow and Tyler Cole.

Background

The album and its promotional tour were announced on Smith's social media on June 24, with tour dates being released four days later. The tracks are interpolated and have themes such as female empowerment, relationship and being born in the wrong generation.[1]

Composition

Willow's previous record The 1st channeled the sounds of 1990s alternative musicians, yielding comparisons to Tori Amos, Tracy Chapman, Alanis Morissette and others. With her self-titled album, she would leap into "spacey" and psychedelic terrain. The songs have been seen as both psych-folk and psych soul, as well as dream pop and "dreamy" R&B.
