Rolling Stone See Willow Smith Perform ‘Transparent Soul’ With Travis Barker on ‘Fallon’ Pop-punk single features on singer’s upcoming album By Smith previously told Rolling Stone of the “Transparent Soul,” which was inspired by a quote from 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,” She continued, “I read that quote, and it really spoke to me. And that’s kind of how the idea of this song came to be.”
