NEW MUSIC: WILLOW | TRANSPARENT SOUL (FEATURING TRAVIS BARKER) + VIDEO PREMIERE

Willow Smith continues to push the boundaries of music with no interest in being stuck within any particular category. This is definitely the case with her new single “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l,” a pop-punk outing featuring Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The single centers on the idea of being the best version of yourself, even if you don’t think that is possible to achieve. While Willow’s sonic influences are evident, the lyrics were inspired by a quote from a swami that urges everyone to embrace the good, the bad and the ugly about themselves.

The accompanying visuals for the track are reminiscent of classic rock and roll videos, with WILLOW rocking wild fashions that range from colourful to goth, playing around with a cool-looking guitar. Unfortunately, Barker doesn’t make an appearance in the short-yet-energetic clip. Last year, WILLOW released the ten-track offering "The Anxiety," a collaborative effort with frequent collaborator Tyler Cole — the same individual who handled production behind “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l.”
