WILLOW enlisted George Clinton, Kamasi Washington, and Tune-Yards to assist on her enthralling and beautiful new album, "petal rock black."

WILLOW continues to prove why she's much more than an evolved child star, growing into one of the most compelling musicians in alternative pop, soul, and rock spaces. petal rock black, her latest album, is maybe the best representation of her versatility and sharp songwriting so far, taking a lot of inspiration from jazzier sounds and theatrical singer-songwriter fare. Mix that in with some alt-rock and progressive R&B experimentations, and you have a very lush and powerful LP. Kamasi Washington, George Clinton, and Tune-Yards help flesh out the soundscape. It's shaping up to be a great year for music if 2026 is giving us gems like this, and we look forward to sitting with WILLOW's latest full-length for a while.

About The Author
Gabriel Bras Nevares is a staff writer for HotNewHipHop. He joined HNHH while completing his B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication at The George Washington University in the summer of 2022. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
