With her fifth album lately I feel EVERYTHING (via Roc Nation/MSFTSMusic/Polydor), a decade of growth both in the industry and as a young woman come to a head. The album is a love letter to that constant evolution. In the short months since the release, lately I feel EVERYTHING has amassed 270 million global streams. It’s meteoric single ‘t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l (feat. Travis Barker)’ has netted over 200 million global streams alone and is RIAA Certified Gold. “Easily the best and most assured music of her career so far,” said The New Yorker. “The album is the first to maximize her talents, externalizing the pent-up, dialled-up angst of her adolescence.”
Tonight, WILLOW will wrap up a major SOLD OUT headlining tour that took her all across the U.S. She’ll return to the road in February, 2022 supporting Billie Eilish. Highlights include two nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City on February 18th and 19th and The Forum in Inglewood, California on April 8th.
