Today, Grammy nominated musician and creative WILLOW releases her seventh studio album petal rock black via Three Six Zero Recordings. This intimate 12-track project, written, performed, and produced by WILLOW, is the experimental result of navigating personal loss and rebuilding in the solitude of the studio.
She describes the album as “a personal offering that honors the labor of creation: of self, of sound, of Community. It’s a celebration of life, of artistic dedication, and of all those who use their hands to shift culture toward something more beautiful.”
Leading up to the release of petal rock black, WILLOW released the official album trailer, HERE. She also debuted a few songs from the album for two sold out crowds in back-to-back performances last night at Blue Note Los Angeles.
petal rock black comes on the heels of her Grammy nominated album empathogen. The genre-bending album inspired by a meditative mix of jazz, classical, and indigenous tribal music includes features from Jon Batiste and St. Vincent. For petal rock black, she taps the likes of George Clinton, Tune-Yards, and looks to Kamasi Washington again who was featured on ceremonial contrafact (empathogen deluxe).
