Courtney E Smith at Refinery29 says there is no other sound in music right now like Willow Smith. Willow's newest album titled The 1st, surprised Courtney. She sighted the string arrangement in particular as standing out but the low register Willow's voice reaches is what truly grabbed her attention. The tone is soothing and the key lends both sadness and wisdom to Willow's sound. This is also a prime time of year to release it, as the soul-searching lyrics match the turning air and changing leaves. Sounds like a far cry from the whip my hair back and forth days.
