Willow Smith Releases New Song “Lipstick,” Shares Album Release Date

Sensational musician Willow Smith, a.k.a WILLOW, shared her newest single “Lipstick” on Friday. It will appear on her forthcoming album lately I feel EVERYTHING from record labels MSFTSMusic/Roc Nation. She also announced the record will drop on Friday, July 16.

Watch the official video for “Lipstick” on YouTube:

The opening track on lately I feel EVERYTHING will be her hit rock single “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l,” featuring Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

The two performed the song in May on an episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

What’s next for WILLOW:

WILLOW says the record is inspired by pop-punk influencers like Paramore, My Chemical Romance and Avril Lavigne. She also confirmed that Lavigne will be featured on the record in an unreleased song that is TBA. It will be a special treat that shows signs of embodying the sounds WILLOW is promising.

The releases have been received well by fans to this point. “T r a n s p a r e n t s o u l” reached a spot in the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 10 on Billboard’s US Hot Rock and Alternative song’s chart.

Listen to both singles via Spotify below:

Fans were pleasantly surprised with the pop-punk sound of “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l,” and will likely trend in the same direction for her rock sound approach on “Lipstick.” It is a heavier song with bellowing vocals that show her growth as a mainstream vocalist. It has sludgy drums and catchy hooks. It presents hope that her record will cover all aspects of rock that mainstream audiences will adore.

Be sure to keep up with WILLOW on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
