Today, Queen Latifah kicked off her new talk show with a performance from one of my favourites, Willow Smith! She may only be 12 years old, but her voice speaks volumes much higher than that. Willow stood on an empty and dark runway with her band and production partner DJ MVSIC along the sides.
Before she started singing, Willow began speaking in a British accent and said “Just for clarity, the word fling means something that’s short lived, and this song is dedicated to all the kids around the world whose summer is never long enough.”
Willow has definitely made a huge transition in her music. Going from huge preppy-pop songs like Whip My Hair and Fireball to mellow and easy-listening tracks such as Summer Fling show how much Willow Smith has chosen to evolve as an artist. Kudos! Check out her performance debuting Summer Fling for the first time ever live –it's wonderful.
