How Willow Made Her Angstiest Song Ever.

Willow's new song "Run!" from her upcoming album, Empathogen, aims to capture the feeling of a panic attack. The lyrics reflect her conflicted emotional state as she grapples with the decision to stay or leave someone. Willow's gritty vocals and the use of distorted instruments contribute to the anxious atmosphere of the song. Influenced by St. Vincent, Willow incorporates electric guitars to create a sense of unease. The song's foundation was built with drums and bass, and the sonic and thematic narrative unfolded from there. Willow hopes that listeners will connect with the song's message of wanting to escape vulnerability and fears. "Run!" represents a new era for Willow as she breaks away from old habits and embraces a new artistic direction. [Extracted from the article]
