Kid Cudi reunites with Willow on her “Transparent Soul” remix, featuring Travis Barker.
The original track, produced by Tyler Cole, appeared on Willow’s released fourth studio album, Lately I Feel Everything. The artist told Rolling Stone the pop-punk cut was inspired by the following quote from spiritual activist/Hindu guru Radhanath Swami:
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 a mirror-like soul, we can see both the beauty and ugliness of our inner life.”
“I read that quote, and it really spoke to me,” Willow told the magazine. “And that’s kind of how the idea of this song came to be.”
Cudi confirmed his contribution via Twitter on Thursday with a video of his performance on the Willow Life Tour.
