WILLOW announces sixth album empathogen, releases new single b i g f e e l i n g s
Following 2022 rock album <COPINGMECHANISM>, WILLOW is seemingly shifting genres once more with her upcoming sixth LP empathogen…
WILLOW has announced her brand-new album empathogen.
Record number six from the superstar musician follows 2022’s rocky <COPINGMECHANISM> and the previous year’s pop-punk-leaning lately I feel EVERYTHING, though it sounds as though this new LP will hear her switch genres once again and embrace a different mindset (last year she told Rolling Stone that “there was so much anger” during the recording of <COPINGMECHANISM>, not to mention she was “almost never sober in the studio” – whereas this time, “I was sober for every single recording session”).
empathogen is due out on May 3 and will feature collabs with Jon Batiste and St. Vincent, as well as newly-released single b i g f e e l i n g s which you can check out below.
WILLOW calls her latest track “dense and dissonant but also darkly beautiful”, explaining that, “I wrote b i g f e e l i n g s during a week where I was coming to terms with my own emotional patterns that I hadn’t known were there.
“Musically, it has a darkness and complexity that reflects what we all experience in our own minds. The song is about accepting those intense feelings that you have no idea what to do with.”
