Willow Smith - I Am Me
Artist: Willow Smith
Producer:
Album: Knees and Elbows
Label: Roc Nation/Columbia
At the age of 11, most us have barely begun the endless work of defining ourselves as individuals. It goes without saying that life as a celebrity, with the constant attention and judgment that it invites, would be a stress that most preteens could do without. If you’re wondering whether Willow Smith can withstand the burning glare of the spotlight, however, it seems that the budding pop songstress has it covered. A new single penned by the artist herself along with Wild Ones hookwoman Sia and Fuego, I’m Me finds the artist asserting herself with a confidence that many twice her age have yet to achieve. Abandoning the bells and whistles of her past releases in favor of a raw and unadorned vocal presentation and a stripped-down piano backdrop, Smith expresses her determination to keep it real and express herself, regardless of what anyone else has to say about her. And in the record’s official video, she proves it, rocking a shaved head,/skinny jeans/giant orange polka dot shirt ensemble with unflappable self-confidence and panache. Willow’s debut set, the long-delayed Knees & Elbows, has yet to receive a solid drop date from the Roc Nation/Universal brass, but fans can, of course, keep it locked for all the latest news and tunes.

To say Willow is "well beyond her years" would be the understatement of the century. With classy, famous, and talented parents she knows all about what it takes to make it and this record, the first I have heard from her to date, shows she is a maturing, brave artist who isn't too young to bare her soul. Kudos, Willow.

I had no idea Willow had such a good voice. She smashed this track. Her future in the game is bright...
