Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ WILLOW Announces New Album “empathogen”, Shares New Song “b i g f e e l i n g s”
American singer-songwriter WILLOW has announced that the sixth studio album “empathogen” will be released on May 3, 2024.
The album is her first LP in two years since the 2022 album “Coping Mechanism” and comprises a 12-track, featuring collaborations with Jon Batiste and St. Vincent.
Back in November 2023, WILLOW told Rolling Stone about the album in an interview, “For Coping Mechanism I was almost never sober in the studio. And for this new album, I was sober for every single recording session... I feel like my mind state was extremely different. There was so much more gratitude, so much more resonance with myself, and so much more coming back to my roots with these new songs that are coming out.”
From the album, WILLOW unveild the second single called “b i g f e e l i n g s” on April 11, 2024, following the release of “symptom of life” last month.
The track was written by Chris Greatti, WILLOW, and Zach Tenorio. Produced by WILLOW and Chris Greatti.- “The piano part of this song is so dense and dissonant but also darkly beautiful,” Willow said of the song in a statement. “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.”
