Willow Smith's new tune "sign of life" is in 7/4 time and uses some extremely jazzy chords, two things I would not have expected from the singer who provided us "Whip My Hair" back in 2010.
My other video where I point out Willow Smith:
The outro music to this video is my track "Clap" which you can hear completely on Spotify:.

Damn, a song so crazy that it is going to be livestreamed? Can’t wait!
We all be lining up outside the door to see this 🔥
Glad someone is finally talking about Willows new singles. Hope you talk about “alone” too!
Normal progressive rock song. Good for her to bring this more into mainstream.
Love Willow!
Of course it’s a Willow song
It just sounds like any radio head song
Just when I added the comment the radio head comparation comes 😅
I dunno, it feels a bit more like Radiohead + later Porcupine Tree to me. Not sure why. I think it’s the vocals. They’re not very Radiohead-like.
First time I’ve heard a video about a brand new song and it makes me want to go out and listen to the song.
First time hearing the song but WOW! Yeah this is great
There is a Japanese album that I absolutely love called “Sleeping Pink Noise” by Iyowa that I think is worth checking out
Really enjoyed this analysis, David! I’ve never heard this song before but after watching this I think I’ll check it out.
By the way, a rock song that I think would make a great analysis video one day is Question! by System of a Down which uses 4 time signatures throughout its 3 minute duration.
I’ll keep requesting Sir Chloe’s Untie You, Animal, and Mercy because they’ve all got really creative chord progressions and key changes and they’re just great songs
She’s consistently put out really good stuff. Very jpopish vibe with all the jazzy chords.
what’s up david
Wow, really cool track and analysis!
Love willow’s new stuff, as someone who was annoyed by whip my hair
Somehow the 7/4 sections sound freer and more open while the 4/4 chorus feel tight and jarring.
Starting in 7/4 time and later going to 4/4 is right on the Money
This slaps
damn, i’ve been sleeping on Willow, apparently! Hat’s off to her!
