Willow Premieres Frenetic Funk Jam ‘Run!’ During ‘Tiny Desk’ Concert


Willow premiered a new song, 'Run!,' from her upcoming album 'Empathogen,' during her appearance on NPR's 'Tiny Desk' concert series.

“Run!” begins with a whole lot of irrepressible funk energy, with Willow’s dexterous vocals going toe-to-toe with the song’s bustling bass and fiery guitar. Along with premiering “Run!”, Willow played two other songs from Empathogen, “Symptom of Life” and “Big Feelings.” She also delivered a pared-back version of “Split” from her 2022 album, Coping Mechanism, and “Wait a Minute!”, the bedroom-funk favorite from her 2015 debut, Ardipithecus. While she said those styles helped her channel a lot of “anger” and “resentment” during an emotionally difficult time, she was eager to move past the turbulence while making Empathogen.
