Independent and able to do whatever she damn well pleases,
Willow Kayne has both hands on the wheel with her new single '
I've Got This All Under Control'. Check out the latest cover story for our New Music Friday playlist edit, PLAY.
Willow Kayne has always been a whirlwind of creative energy, a genre-defying artist who's been turning heads since her debut in 2021. In the best possible way modern pop provides, she switches flavours and influences to craft a vibe that's always fresh, always interesting and never, ever boring. With her latest single, 'I've Got This All Under Control', she's keeping up those standards like a kid on a slightly overinflated bouncy castle, jumping around like their life depends on it with the kind of reckless abandon that would make a health and safety inspector weep.
But also, it's a song that also takes on another meaning - because now, actually, Willow really does have it all under her control. With a newfound independence, the world she's created is dancing solely to her own beat - something she's grasping with both hands.
"I've been experimenting a lot since we last talked!" Willow exclaims, her enthusiasm obvious. Willow's shift towards self-reliance isn't just a creative choice or a happenstance of the fickle stupidity of a music industry so concerned with box-ticking that it's unable to elevate a star to where she belongs. It's the unavoidable truth of an artist with so much creativity in her engine that she has to keep moving at all points. "I've made a new project," she confesses, explaining that she's "just been focusing on making things for myself."
