Willow Smith gets an assist from Travis Barker on new single 'Transparent Soul'

Willow Smith did her best to energize you for the rest of this week by releasing "Transparent Soul."

The pop-punk track is co-signed by one of the genre's godfathers with Travis Barker on the drums.  "Transparent soul," Smith sings in the above clip. "I can see right through, just so you know."

The 20-year-old is styled in a way her mom, Jada Pinkett Smith, might have been during her Wicked Wisdom days, and the song showcases her as a guitarist.

Per American Songwriter, "Transparent Soul" is expected to be on Smith's forthcoming yet-to-be-titled fourth studio album via MSFTSMusic/Roc Nation. "I thought this was a really dope outlet for a new energy I wanted to bring to my music," she told the outlet. "It is said that a saintly person is so pure that he or she acts like a spotless mirror. When we come in the presence of such mirror-like soul, we can see both the beauty and ugliness of our inner life."

The single was produced by Tyler Cole, with whom Smith produced her 2019 album WILLOW. Her other albums were ARDIPITHECUS (2015) and The 1st (2017).
