Indeed, "Transparent Soul" is an on-brand expression for the 20-year-old artist. It's a daring move that shakes up perceptions and challenges the notion that Black artists are one-dimensional. Willow's artistry and musical courage reflect a depth that resonates with many fans who see her as "the Black alt artist we've been asking for."
Topaz Jones: A Funky New Beginning
In other musical strides, Topaz Jones' funk-infused album opener "Mirror" stands out as a vivid recap of childhood, dipped in melodies and rhythms that bring the funk of the old school into the modern era. The New Jersey native's rapping brings a refreshing twist, capturing a connection with the past, saying “I’m my poppa’s lil’ prodigy/And my grandmama coddled me/Said I’m born to be funky/Baptized in pollock or collard greens.”
