Willow Smith - 21st Century Girl
Artist: Willow Smith
Producer: Twin & Alke
Album: Untitled Debut
Label: Roc Nation/Columbia
In the 17th century the daughter of world renowned celebrities couldn’t have dreamed of releasing a hit single (Whip My Hair), signing to Roc Nation and quickly becoming an overnight celebrity in her own right, but Willow Smith is a 21st Century Girl. For the second single of her young, literally, career Willow has recruited producers Twin & Alke to craft an up-tempo and electronically drenched beat that walks the thin line between electro-rock, R&B and pop. For her part Willow continues to vocally deliver well beyond her years – she may not have a powerhouse voice, but her delivery proves she’s definitely got her parents’ acting genes. Love it or hate it, it’s hard to imagine Willow veering too far from the catchy anthem blueprint laid out by Whip My Hair and 21st Century Girl for the foreseeable future, so you’re well advised to get used to it. There’s currently no release date set for Ms. Smith’s upcoming, currently untitled album, but believe me, with Jay-Z, Columbia and most of Hollywood behind her, you’ll know well before the project drops.
This song first appeared on the
R&B / Pop Chart
on March 7, 2011

Ok, here's the thing, SHE'S 10 YEARS OLD, and even though she displays amazing talent, it's a little weird to me that she's such adult sounding songs. I mean at 10 years old I was picking boogers and getting church clothes dirty...
Nothing against the song, which sounds like a Ke$ha/Rhinna mashup, but damn, shouldn't she be singing songs for kids? |

I like this; not as creative or addicting as 'Whip my Hair', but pretty decent for several spins.

For 10 years old Willow has an incredible voice - which should only continue to mature. However, I cannot help but feel weird (creepy?) listening to her suggestive lyrics. If Rihanna does it, okay. But Willow? Uh...

This would be a decent song if she were older. But it's definately to mature for her. BTW she looks exactly like her dad in his Fresh Prince years.

After a certain point what is there to really say? This track obviously isn't aimed at DJBooth's adult male audience, but as part of Willow's mission (or the adults around her's mission) is to take over the teen girl demographic, and this is another step down that road.

Although this is not my type music, I have to give this 10 year old some major props for doing it! Keep it up!

For being 10 years old, Willow is doing a fantastic job. She may not be making classic material in the essence of the word, but she is creating memorable and quality (for a 10 year old) music. Well done.

LOTS of talent, this little girl. But she's a bit restricted cause of her age. Just wait til' she's older. We'll see. Sounds like Ke$ha.

people are right, this is a mash-up of Rihanna and Kesha. Like Nathan S. said this is 'hate it or love it'.
I think this song is a bit inappropriate and has a good club auto-tuned beat. I think it will have its moment if that spotlight publicity kicks in. |

This one is for me but I can see this going big on the pop charts. But like DJ Z said this kind of song sounds weird coming from a 10 yr old. Just saying

The Smith family is single handedly ruining the entertainment industry. All this self promotional crap from movies to music. "Your family isn't that talented!!! Geesh!!" Will hasn't made a good song or movie in 20yrs, I'm convinced he's blackmailing somebody to keep getting roles. This is just another example of the bull this family is pushing, along with KARATE SH*T the movie...
