Willow Smith Interviewed by St. Vincent for Interview Magazine

May 15, 2024

Willow Smith is into the inexplicable things. The ethereal singer-songwriter and young prodigy has always had a rebellious spirit, but there’s a dynamic mind at work behind the star power. In her newest album, empathogen, which dropped earlier this month, she bares that soul in a raw coming-of-age story, as she explains to friend, fan, and fellow musician St. Vincent, who also just released an album of self-discovery, All Born Screaming, and who’s known Willow since she was 14. “You were always so self-possessed, so smart,” she tells her when they called each other up to go deep inside each other’s sonic worlds. “You’re becoming even more yourself.” In conversation, they discussed self-love, self-producing, and what it really means to be an artist.
