Willow’s previous LP was released in July 2021. The 21-year-old musician leaned further into her mother Jada Pinkett-Smith’s punk-rock influence for that body of work and came into her own. Lately I Feel Everything featured guest appearances from Tierra Whack, Avril Lavigne, Travis Barker, Ayla Tesler-Mabe, and Cherry Glazerr across eleven tracks.
Smith recently released a single entitled “maybe it’s my fault,” with a music video to match on June 24. The moody video finds Willow wrestling with the idea that she may be to blame for a failed relationship. Dana Trippe lends their directive prowess to the visual’s angsty energy, capturing the raw essence of the two-minute track’s tone and mood.
Watch the video for “maybe it’s my fault” above.
