    This is the sound of an innovating, idiosyncratic artist, whose talent is now far more interesting than her showbiz backstory.

    ["Grow"] is worth the price of admission alone, but the rest of this brief set is such an unexpected surprise that it's worth the nearly half-hour investment. There seems to be nothing that Willow can't do as she adds rock to her résumé with ease.

    It was a risky move, switching from conscious R&B star to grungy punk beau, but WILLOW has knocked all doubts out of the park – again.

    Smith’s new record does feel like her most personal. Her lyrics have a stream-of-consciousness style, as though she’s in the middle of composing a message to a friend or partner. The delight she takes in performing these songs is palpable.

    As carefree as it is frustrated, as playful as it is temperamental, WILLOW’s lately I feel EVERYTHING is a straight up lively hit of jaded emo bangers that will have a new generation of listeners whipping their hair back and forth.

    Calm and collected when it needs to be but by no means lacking in heart and passion, this album is a fine collection of songs by an artist intent on forging her own path.

    It sometimes feels a bit too quick, with most of its tracks coming in at or around three minutes in length. Overall though, hardly anything is forced and it all feels well presented and devilishly melodic.

    It's inevitable that lately i feel EVERYTHING will be relentlessly compared to its influences and predecessors, but Willow manages to pay homage to the subculture while putting her own spin on it.

    Her ambitions are bold, but the album has a sense of polished remove that prevents it from scaling real emotional heights.

    lately I feel EVERYTHING feels too messy and not-put-together, and the songs are too short for their own good. Some songs stuck with me butlately I feel EVERYTHING feels too messy and not-put-together, and the songs are too short for their own good. Some songs stuck with me but weren't long or in-depth enough for me to fully appreciate. Simply said, WILLOW’s album is weak. Each song features what sounds like the same guitar loops and drum kits. G R O W, t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l, and XTRA are good songs, but that's where my positives end. I understand a few songs on an album being 1:30-2:15 long but 6 of 11 were, which made it weird and very short seeing how the album ended after only 26 minutes.… Full Review »

    It was the first album that I've heard from her and I loved it. And it was much better than her past singles that I've heard
