Speaking to Billboard about the direction of her new album, WILLOW announced, “In the guitar world, it’s heavily dominated by white men, and I just wanted to come in and fuck it up.

She later continued: "I wanted to let other people of colour know that we should be able to do whatever we want; we should be able to scream and growl and shred. And with the history of what we’ve had to endure in this country, I think that rock is a pretty perfect place to do that.”
