So Willow Smith samples Radiohead's Codex on her new single
and what with Bowie coming out of self emposed "retirement" and a new Prince track surfacing 2013 is already turning out to be quiet surprising!

This is kinda great
Impressed with her voice if i'm honest. I liked Whip My Hair a lot, but it was hardly a vocal workout...
The album could be very good if it's all as idiosyncratic as this.
But, really, it's not good, is it.
Not at all.
But because of who it is, and who it samples... apparently it's, y'know, OK.
When it's not. It's bad.
*IMO
Sure, the gorgeous sample contributes a lot to its appeal, and it's a minute or so too long, and the ending's a bit dodgy. I enjoyed it a lot though.
I quite liked it.
Can't say what I'd think if it wasn't Will Smith's daughter, or it didn't sample Radiohead because it is and it does.
There's no way this would be picked up so widely if it wasn't Willow Smith
Whip My Hair was a legit banger so I can understand why that went massive, but I think people are just hearing what they want to hear with this.
Willow can't do sad music because she was born in the year 2000 and 13 years olds don't get sad. And even if they do get sad, Willow Smith doesn't get sad because she's Willow Smith and her life is a cartoon.
Get her back on some prime-Timbaland sounding production singing about whipping her hair or pogs or something and then count me in.
Can't do sad music because she's 13.
Can sing about pogs because she was born in 2000.
Does not compute.
I'm so out of touch :(
Y'see! this is why older people can get sad. Because they all want to be young.
I'm off to express my legit melancholy about thinking pogs were still relevant - might even use a Radiohead sample. Let's see what kind of blog support that gets.
let's talk about GOOD POP BY TEENAGE GIRLS
ok ok this is by Rebecca Black but it's a belter and I <3 it

Dude that song is properly good
It's not AMAZING, but fuck I really kinda like it.
She can't sing about pogs either
surely they're a 90s thing...?
see above^
haha spot on
all the lamestreamers jumping on the bandwagon because she samples codex. she is shit.
This post makes you sound like a complete twit.
thanks for pointing that out
go and find something to do
New Prince track?
Got a link?
Unfortunately the track was on Youtube but has since been pulled
It was reported on NME.com
http://www.nme.com/news/prince/68055?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fanpage-prince
if I can find it anywhere else I'll post that link but it seams to have been removed from the interweb.
New Daft Punk as well
Featuring Nile Rodgers.
This can only be the best thing.
sample is
understating it a little, no?
I quite like this
Never heard the Radiohead song. Sue me.
Expected this to be shit.
It's not too bad actually.
This is just the original track with a new vocal.
A bit of an odd idea for a single from a teen pop star.
shes not a teen yet
she's barely 12
youre all so mean
It sounds like The Antlers with a female vocal innit
It sounds like Radiohead with a female vocal innit
Strange
Seems a bit early for her to make a bid for credibility with the bedwetter crowd
It's not bad, and she has a nice voice, but it's a little dull.
woahh
not.good.at.all
murdered yorke on his own beat
pumped for the comeback
I Whip My Airbag And Forth
LOLZ RITE????
strong work
haven't listened to this
but from what you all say - is she just singing over a radiohead song, but with yorkey's vox taken out?
Yeah
sounds intereszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............
:-(((
upset a friend by being aggressive about disliking this when they liked it.
Sounds kind of like the XX
in a weird way.
Radiohead
It's just three chords from Codex...
chill out people.
6/10.
*7/10
I hope the application of autotune in this is deliberate.
If not then sheeeeeeeeit, this girl can't sing.
Also - this song is shit. Anyone rating it highly is either stupid or trolling.
Cheers.
