willow released her first album "ardipithecus". about her debut's title album, willow said "ardipithecus ramidus sahelanthropus tchadensis is the scientific name of the first hominid bones found on earth. i wanted to name my musical compilation after it because, while i was making these songs, i was in such a transitional state. digging deep in the soil of my heart and finding bits and pieces of my ancient self that tell stories, which end up being the lyrics to the songs."
