I’ve had a weird fascination with the creative endeavors of Will Smith’s kids, Willow and Jaden. The acting attempts weren’t that great. But when they were allowed to explore music, they put together some great gems.
Jaden’s 2017 “Syre” had two of my favorite songs in recent times, Fallen and Ninety. And Wilow seemed to drop a dope single here and there at the same time, most notibly 9 and Surrender.
But Willow’s 2021 rock full length, “lately I feel EVERYTHING” seemed to finally hit the mark. I’m in no way a rock music fan, but this album is so good it transcends the genre. It feels and sounds so raw and unpolished, driven completely by experience and emotion.
