Willow Smith’s new track ‘5’ sounds like The Internet and is unexpectedly great

You weren’t expecting this.

Alright, this one flew under our radar last week, but it was impossible to ignore the latest track from Will Smith’s precocious 13-year-old daughter.

On ‘5’, Willow Smith swaps hair-whipping ferocity for psychedelic soul thanks to a crackling beat from Australian producer Ta-ku. The guest verse comes from her 15-year-old brother Jaden, who, contrary to his Twitter persona, appears to have a minor aptitude for wordplay. Impressive stuff from a youngster who was sampling Radiohead before she was even a teenager.

Willow’s also on the cover of the latest V Magazine, photographed by Karl Lagerfeld. [Hat tip to RBMA]
