Willow Smith Not Happy With Her Music
Willow Smith has shared her voice with the world, but insists that she does not like most of the music she has made.
Willow, the 13-year-old singer, actress and daughter of entertainers Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, has released her music and videos over the past few years. While she has enough music to create an album, Willow recently told Teen Vogue why she was not ready to do that just yet.
"I have enough songs to make an album, but most of the songs I don't like," she told Teen Vogue. "It's going to be something outlandish, something that nobody can imagine, something that comes from me and only me. Something we need right now."
Still, Willow has defended her music in the past. She previously clarified the meaning of her song "Summer Fling" after many questioned if the young star was singing about inappropriate adult concepts.
"It's just a couple months, But we do it anyway / It's only for the summer, But we do it anyway," the young Smith sang in the hook of her song released last year.
The singer appeared on the debut of the "The Queen Latifah Show" where she addressed the meaning behind the record.
"Just for clarity, the word fling means something that's short lived," Smith said while on the talk show last year. "And this song is dedicated to all the kids around the world whose summer is never long enough."
Willow's father, 45-year-old actor Will Smith, previously spoke to New York magazine about the perception that some people may have about he and actress wife Jada forcing their children to follow in their parents' footsteps.
"It may seem like we have pushed our kids into the business, but that is absolutely insane," Will told New York magazine last year. "I would never, ever, push somebody to have their face on a poster that's going to be everywhere in the world."
