The public has been obsessed with up-and-coming singing sensation Willow Smith, daughter of actors Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, since she dazzled and thrilled millions with her first single, Whip My Hair, an anthem for women everywhere to be confident and not listen to all the "haters." The pint-sized Willow has garnered as much attention for her colorful rocker-inspired looks as she has with her hit single.
The Washington Post characterized the now 10 year-old singer as a “misled elementary-aged girl” in a recent article that critiqued her style. Ms. Smith dresses the part of a young child trying to have fun with fashion. With a disposable income and access to the almost everything she would ever dream of wearing, it would be fun for a little girl to play dress-up and wear whatever she wants to wear. She's celebrating her creativity and originality without looking trashy, overdone or oversexed. In the just released video for her second single, 21st Century Girl, Ms. Smith gives her fans more of her unique style with colorful ensembles, including yellow shorts paired with leopard print tights and a shirt with the inscription, Boys Need Training.
21st Century Girl, is a dance track with a catchy hook that will become a mantra for many young girls and even older women. The song includes affirmation lyrics like:
21st Century Girl
I do what I like
21st Century Girl
I’m taking you for a ride
21st Century Girl
Yeah, I'm gonna live it up
Just live it up
and
I feel like I can take over the world
If only I get my dreams out
Pull gold from my soul
Pull diamonds from my heart
It's that new girl thinking and this song is just the start!
