7.8.12 - New Music - Willow Smith

Hrm.

I don’t want to make fun of a 10 year old girl (at least not too bad), so I’ll start by saying that I genuinely like Willow Smith. She’s cute, she’s got a personality, and just…why not? I will also say that Willow proves she can actually sing (even if aided slightly by studio tools) in this new song (a single?), so good for her.

Now then, I must say I don’t like this tune. It is lacking…a lot. The lyrics are blah and the production is missing any oomph. While certainly not the worst attempt at a ballad with a piano I’ve heard from a pop singer (not even this year), I can’t get on board this time.

No worries though Willow, I’m still rootin’ for ya and I’m excited for whatever else you’ve got coming!

PS – at the end (if you make it that far) where she goes “ain’t nobody got time for that” and gets all sassy? That’s why we love Willow.
