I love Willow's style. She's hit this place where she's not afraid to explore sounds, from very scary and weird and ugly sounds but also perfect and very beautiful at the same time! Her vocal performance speaks to the emotional quality of her lyrics in such a natural and free and expressive way.

Willow sounds very amateurish on these songs lately. Super pitchy, range all over the place, beneath the notes many times, off key, and then like idiots we’re all like she’s so cool and unique lmao. This sounds like a person auditioning but couldn’t find all the right notes. Many people do this naturally by accident. It sounds like she’s definitely doing it on purpose but it’s not a pleasant sound. This is an example of a person making music for themselves as an experiment. Not for others. No knock against it but if it’s not for us why are we here and why is she releasing it to us. It’s more like pandering more than anything.

It’s just so interesting, and so many singers take no chances. She’s a breath of fresh air!

I've enjoyed seeing Willow grow as an artist and a person since "I whip my hair back and forth." I think your analogy of her yodeling is accurate. But it also at times seemed like she was chanting in a rhythmic way. It was like watching an artist paint with every color they decided to use. She is being vocally unique in a refreshing way. I don't know who came up with the Tiny Desk series. But it was ingenious of them.

Honestly, your description, fervor, and explanation was actually just as or even more exciting and entertaining than the actual performance 😂😂😂 I truly enjoyed your video. I would like to see how you would do the song because you also have a beautiful voice.

Her voice is so ancestral, I can hear both african and european hues in her voice, rich earthy elements, so jazzy but soulful at the same time, her music and her voice is an explosive cultural mix and you have to love and to some extent understand music in order to really appreciate it, ignorant and people with poor taste in music won't get it and i feel like this is why she's been so discriminated by her own community, she's more than your typical black pop singer, she creates her stuff she's in her own world so to speak. I hope she doesn't ever let ignorant people and the industry to stereotype her.
