\"Scout<\/figure>\n

Scout Willis is preoccupied with the elasticity of love on her latest single, \u201cSo Many Ways\u201d. The Los Angeles-based artist stretches folk-pop into a sun-bleached meditation on the many forms romance can take. It forms part of a broader body of work concerned with pleasure and self-discovery, shaped in part by her studies of psychology and myth. She writes songs that search for connection and transformation, wrapping cinematic storytelling in atmospheric textures and easy-going melodic charm. There\u2019s a lot to be musically enamoured by here. Her cotton-candy vocals sound like the love child of \u201870s singer-songwriter greats Karen Carpenter and Carly Simon, shapeshifting and wistful in a way that feels dipped in free-love romanticism. That open-heartedness makes sense considering the musical stew she grew up on. Patsy Cline, Beth Hart, Daft Punk, The Rolling Stones and The Coasters all find their way into her Americana-tinted sound. Whether opening Gabriela Hearst\u2019s Chlo\u00e9 show with an original song during Paris Fashion Week or touring with Irish band Kingfishr and crossover royalty Maren Morris, Scout exists in the overlap between artistry, style and culture, where each informs the other without needing definition.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your earliest memory of music having an effect on you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My dad was really serious about the music education he gave me. I remember him showing me \u201cI Am the Walrus\u201d [by The Beatles], and he\u2019d quickly tell me the line that was coming next so I could sing along with him and learn the words.<\/p>\n

What does it mean to you to be original?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feeling safe in my body so I can act from instinct and intuition, truly as my purest self, rather than being in my head wondering how I\u2019m being perceived.<\/p>\n

When did you last get in trouble?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was recently seeing two people at the same time who were friends\u2026I\u2019m more of an \u201cask for forgiveness rather than permission\u201d kind of girl, so\u2026<\/p>\n

What\u2019s turning you on creatively right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading classics. I read whatever I want; fantasy, fiction, smut, British crime thrillers, anything and everything. Then, suddenly this year, I wanted to read only classics, and it\u2019s been really turning me on to have to use my brain like that again. Especially The Rainbow by D. H. Lawrence and Orlando by Virginia Woolf. The way Lawrence describes people\u2019s interior worlds is so sensual, I understand why his books were once banned.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s been your greatest act of artistic rebellion?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Continuing to make music even though for a long, long time it wasn\u2019t \u201cgoing anywhere\u201d or \u201ctaking off.\u201d I approached playing a bar for 10 people like I was playing Madison Square Garden. I chose to radically enjoy the process, so I wasn\u2019t waiting to be happy.<\/p>\n

I love that Miley stands for\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perseverance, integrity and compassion. She is an absolute pro, and I have always respected her so deeply.<\/p>\n
