It’s only natural for an artist to push back against predictability, consciously honing their craft in the measured steps of creative evolution. But after an acclaimed early career of atmospheric Americana, singer-songwriter Lilly Winwood went much further than that with her new single, ‘What’ve We Got To Lose’.Winwood has embraced a bold, new creative direction, moving away from her earlier, introspective style and immersing herself in the vibrant, rhythmic soundscapes of the 1970’s. Influenced by icons like Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, and the Allman Brothers, Winwood’s music reflects her desire to break free from personal and musical constraints. She finds inspiration in the collaborative process, working with songwriters such as Aaron Wagner & JT Nero to push her boundaries and explore a liberated, groove-driven sound. Her new music focuses on themes of joy, self-discovery, and the power of staying true to oneself, echoing the revolutionary spirit of ‘70s music.

Winwood’s newest single, “What Have We Got to Lose,” embodies her own evolution, blending romantic, slow-burning R&B with sensual, expressive vocals. With producer Dan Knobler at the helm, the song merges soul with thoughtful lyricism. Winwood describes the song as a “cinematic daydream,” capturing the essence of vulnerability and openness. The track encourages listeners to take risks and embrace the unknown, reflecting her belief in the value of stepping out of comfort zones to unlock hidden potential. With its smooth, soulful sound, “What Have We Got to Lose” encapsulates Winwood's message of possibility and the beauty of surrendering to new experiences
