Willow Gets Introspective on Jazzy Single ‘Symptom of Life’
Willow gets introspective on jazzy new single, 'Symptom of Life,' which was accompanied by a self-directed video in which she ventures into nature.
After channeling her inner rage and nu-metal bona fides on the 2022 album<COPINGMECHANISM>, Willow is going in the opposite direction on her just-released meditative new single, “Symptom of Life.” “Pushing and peeling myself out of my disguise/ Looking at you now I am wondering who am I/ If I could try to take you back/ I couldn’t define feeling/ Absence of time/ Knowing all is decided there’s nothing here left to find/ The story’s all in my mind/ Pushing and peeling the layers that cover my mind/ Looking into the shadow now I notice the light/ Magic is real when you see it inside,” Willow sings over a loungey backing track that trades the guitar-heavy sound of her previous effort for piano and jazzy drums. Earlier in the week she posted the lyrics, explaining to fans that she wanted to give them time to “ deeply digest the words before diving into the whole composition.” At press time Willow had not revealed if “Symptom” is a one-off like her equally introspective, jazz-influenced November single “Alone,” or if the songs are destined for what would be her sixth full-length solo studio album.
