WILLOW does a great job of bringing her emotions to life on “lately i feel EVERYTHING.” And she really does feel everything, as shown by angsty, self-aware songs like “don’t SAVE ME” and “naïve,” uplifting self-love anthems like “Gaslight” and “G R O W,” and sorrowful melodies like “Come Home” and “4ever. Baby we can hit the 405 Hypnotized by the lights Man this must be the life Meet me at our spot Got something I wanna show you Meet me at our spot They can’t find us there x2 Caught a vibe Baby are. Willow Camille Reign Smith was born on October 31, 2000, in Los Angeles, California. “lately i feel EVERYTHING” features WILLOW speak-singing, yelling and belting out choruses. With the switch of genres, it seems there are more opportunities to have fun with recording the songs. The single also showed off WILLOW’s vocal range.

Its dynamic changes in tempo and volume continue throughout the album to ensure listeners don’t get bored. “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l” is the perfect track one, setting the tone for the album and introducing listeners to the new WILLOW. “lately i feel EVERYTHING” starts out strong with opener “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l.” Featuring Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, the song debuted on April 27, and was WILLOW’s first single for the album. “4ever” and “naïve” are reminiscent of WILLOW’s earlier, melancholic style. The album includes pop-punk/pop-rock bangers “Lipstick” and “Gaslight,” but also “F**k You” and “¡BREAKOUT!,” which have a riot grrrl feel.

It takes inspiration from the genre and blends it with other sounds to create something unique, which is why the album succeeds. “lately i feel EVERYTHING” isn’t just a pop-punk album, though.
