Jaden and Willow Smith | Interview Broccoli City Festival



Willow and Jaden Smith's performance was definitely one of the afternoon's highlights; considering how rarely they perform, the confidence with which they took the stage was doubly impressive. Throwing themselves around with the kind of artful sloppiness that could only have come from years in Beverly Hills' best movement classes, the Smiths rapped and sang their way through their Soundcloud to an audience of die-hard fans (people even made Willow and Jaden cut-outs). As Jaden said of Willow, "She's only 14. That's crazy." - Billboard

Willow Smith | Heart | New Music



With "Heart," Willow Smith has graced us with two new minutes of heady, celestial meanderings. Over production by Chaotic, the 14 year old floats ideas like, I don't think it's fair that you're on Earth/ And I'm up up here making stars and and galaxies and planets/ Making the life I know the dimensions. Apparently, the song was inspired by the "chaotic" period during which she was for some reason locked out of her SoundCloud profile: "I thought I'd post a little something celebrating the end of the chaotic time whilst I wasn't able to long in this account," she writes in the songs description. The stars, they forget their SoundCloud passwords just like us.

Willow Smith | WOODS



Willow Smith — the 14-year-old daughter of Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and mystical Mother Earth — has been the recent subject of derision. Alongside her brother, Jaden, she waxed philosophic in an interview for T Magazine about paranormal life energies, illusive properties of time, and how much school sucks. The pair were ridiculed for every line. It’s fun to mock New Age aphorisms and it’s fun to mock teens. Feel-good fuzz told with posturing confidence is an irresistible combination to deflate.

What We Really Talk About When We Talk About Doofy Teens is self-deprecation for our past lives as teens. And this specific type of teen — this wide-eyed junior philosopher excited about lofty mental rubrics for considering the world — is ripe for teasing.

But if Willow is slightly ribbed, she should also be praised. She's confident, ambitious, creatively motivated: Why deride these wonderful qualities? It's kind of fantastic to use a standard publicity interview to talk over sky-scraping ideas about existence. In every conversation, she mentions a new way of thinking: a refreshing substitute for peppery anecdotes or false humility. Willow Smith doesn’t waste your time with a cute confession about insecurities: She wants to talk about truth.

Take a listen below to Willow's latest release!

In enterprising fashion, Smith surprised fans with the project via his own app, pegged the “Jaden Experience.” The music has been two years in the making, but it has at least one fan already. “I’ve Worked On This Album For Two Years And Kendall Likes it So Here,” Smith tweeted, referencing Kendall Jenner.

WILLOW SMITH | FEMALE ENERGY | FREESTYLE



Willow has come a long way since “Whip My Hair.” The free-spirited Smith, who turns 14 on Halloween, floats above the clouds on her vibey freestyle “Female Energy,” which borrows lyrics from Jhené Aiko’s “The Pressure.”

“It’s really out of my control / How you feel is not my problem,” coos Willow.

Her EP 3 hits iTunes on November 10 featuring three new tracks, which she debuted last week at the Fader Fort during the CMJ Festival in Brooklyn.

Jaden Smith/Willow | Melancholy



Jaden Smith continues to prove that he’s wise beyond his years. After releasing the tracks “Blue Ocean,” “Trophy,” and “Fast,” the 16-year-old rapper-actor explores the dark side of fame on “Melancholy.”

Over a sample of Pink Floyd’s ’70s classic “Breathe,” Will and Jada’s son mocks his haters with lines like, “You guys are just some rich kids, how dare you call yourselves the MSFTS” and “You messin’ up a classic like how you did with The Karate Kid,” while his sister Willow provides backing vocals (“Run, rabbit run”).

Hear him trip out on the psychedelic song and look out for his mixtape Cool Tape, Vol. 2.
