Everything Daphne Willis has done up to now in both her music and her life has led to this moment--her new album, Because I Can (Vanguard, April 19), marks the 23-year-old writer/singer/guitarist's artistic coming of age in thrilling--and at times heart-wrenching-- fashion. This captivating album represents an exponential leap, as she grows into her enormous talent and puts it to powerful and relatable use via her singular sensibility. Because I Can sounds very much like the defining work of a young artist who matters.
"I pushed myself hard on this album, and I really let myself be pushed," says Willis, who recently relocated to Nashville from her native Chicago. "It involved opening the door and working with new people--a lot of the songs on the record are co-writes. I learned so much from writing with all these different people and making it a collaborative effort from start to finish. It's been a blast all the way through."
