“She’s found a winning formula”

NME
“Smart, confident and put together with a real sense of intrigue, WILLOW’s latest record is a testament to having the belief to forge your own path. As coping mechanisms go, this one sounds like a winner.”
Kerrang
“Her best [album] yet… WILLOW’s musical ambition has always been there, but here it’s matched by larger-than-life rock that borrows from multiple eras, smashing those influences into something new.”
Rolling Stone
“An adventurous step forward for an already-versatile young artist, as well as her deepest dive yet into rock music.”
Billboard
“WILLOW blossoms on her fifth studio album. Never happy confined to the pop-punk box, she immerses herself fully in modern rock. The gamble pays off. It’s heavy, weird and imaginative with soaring vocals.”
Daily Mirror
“WILLOW has finally found her lane in the space where bouncy pop-punk and anguished emo-rock converge.”
The New York Times
“<COPING MECHANISM> is by far her greatest work to date. Vibrant, bold, experimental in all the right places and full of heart, WILLOW’s latest album proves her to be an incredible talent.”
Gigwise
“Willow herself has the presence and range to pull it off like very few others.”
The i
“Her most fully realized record yet… Her raw R&B-infused vocals, like a dagger draped in silk, are a megaphone for Gen Z’s caustic angst.”
Entertainment Weekly
“Further evidence that the young artist is impossible to pigeonhole.”
The AV Club
“The singer-songwriter pushes herself into a heavier sound and finds catharsis on her fifth album.”
Consequence
“WILLOW embodies the rock star she was destined to be.”
NPR

“Consistently takes unexpected turns yet culminate in her most cohesive project to date… Bears traces of everywhere WILLOW has been throughout her career, which feels both storied and like it’s only just beginning.”
