I love this chick. And when I say chick, I mean girl. And when I say girl, I mean child. This chick/girl/child is hella talented. 10 year-old Willow Smith, simply known as Willow, just has the goods. Seriously though, with parents like Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, it's hard not to be bloody talented.
Willow's debut single released late last year, Whip My Hair, was a global success. It reached the top 20 in the US, Canada and Australia (achieving platinum status in the US and Australia), and reached #2 in the UK. Willow's follow up single, 21st Century Girl, has the potential to mirror that performance, and the video just premiered over the last few days.
21st Century Girl sees Willow take a route down the pop road, vs Whip My Hair which was a little more R&B. It's a "cute" track... and I mean that with no disrespect to the 10 year-old. It's definitely something you could see Willow sing (or Miley Cyrus for that matter), vs something you would see Beyonce come out with. Like I said, no disrespect. It's actually refreshing to see a 10 year-old sing something a little bit more age-applicable, and not talk about grinding some pole somewhere.
Video highlight: the wolves. Love 'em. Woof.
