Willow Smith is not one to rest on her laurels — or those of her parents. At 21, she’s two weeks out from the release of COPINGMECHANISM, her fifth studio album as WILLOW, and she’s now shared the project’s third single. “curious/furious” follows July’s “maybe it’s my fault” and last month’s “hover like a GODDESS” on the record’s release cycle and reemphasizes the affinity for pop-punk/R&B hybridization she’s shown in recent years.
Of the three aforementioned cuts, “curious/furious” is the most traditional pop song. It lacks the intense urgency of “maybe” or the thrashy, nu-metal undertones of “hover,” but it’s still got a kick to it once it hits it’s stride.
