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]
