[@seanscommentary]

this might be the most equitable and humble staging of a band I've ever seen. Instead of placing the lead singer out front, Willow placed herself upstage in a semi-circle with her pianist and drummer downstage (closer to the audience). Such a lovely and beautiful display of musicianship and collaboration.

[@barcelonachair6487]

That's because she isn't the strongest. You can tell she just learnt a few chords and needs the everyone else to create the music.

[@krimsonfunk]

lol, she still placed herself in the center..anyway I think the music is weak at best

[@BanterBangers]

@@barcelonachair6487 Huh? Many artists barely play instruments and stand in the front using just their voice. She could have done the same

[@glowycloey]

@@barcelonachair6487 The piano part was written by John Batiste. He's amazing. She is mid, at best.

[@j-din2055]

[@3rinityivysage292]

This gave me shivers!! I feel like willow knows and accepts herself for all that she is and that is beautiful 🥰

[@GoodVybzzz]

Absolutely💯 Was thinking the same. Willow seems like an old soul. She’s already won half the battle by accepting who she is and who she’s not, which ain’t always an easy feat. Some go their whole lives without being able to accomplish that. I ❤ that’s she’s made her own lane separate from her famous family. Her talent speaks for itself. It’s like I’m proud of her🤭… Just❤this for her.

[@DredgenX]

Reminds me of John Coltrane and Led Zeppelins Kashmir! Willows voice is like a soulful jazzy version of Rihanna! AMAZING MUSIC! That bassist, MOHINI DEY, is low key one of the best in the world by the way. Cant help but think her journey into her African heritage led to this sound! Sometimes you have to look back to see the path forward. This live version blows her album version out of the water, I think she should record it again.

[@leagarner3675]

Amazing. I want more. I learned something here too. Thanks

[@fifirouge3237]

💯

[@DredgenX]

@@leagarner3675 yw! Check out Mohini Dey, she is really good too. Jazz Quartets were changed by the revolutionary free jazz that coltrane and miles helped to start, breaking free of old traditional bebop and swing jazz, for a more spiritual and free form music. Coltrane and Miles are both legends in the jazz world but coltrane to me is an unsung hero. He is like jimi hendrix on saxophone, he was the greatest that ever lived, and died too soon.

[@notknown6605]

Rihanna 😂?!

[@DredgenX]

@@notknown6605 Yes, the tone of her voice when she projected her voice more sounded like Rihanna to me. I listen to music all the time, and I found the tone of her voice is a lot like hers, she would be a good vocal coach for her to take a more Popular approach to that style of voice. Their natural singing voice is a similar tone.

This is the key, people are going crazy in the section but Willow is getting all the credit for playing a couple of cords and these are amazing musicians and if they left her side tomorrow her sound would be blank.
