Willow Smith Meets Radiohead on 'Sugar and Spice': AUDIO
A startlingly different sound from Will Smith's daughter Willow, best known for whipping her hair back and forth. The track she's singing over is Radiohead's "Codex".
Listen, AFTER THE JUMP...
Very nice!

Listen the radiohead version, and then you'll see why imo this song fails. Her vocals aren't strong/idiosyncratic enough to accompany the self-conscious lushness of the music.

It's got a Lana Del Rey vibe, no?

The child had talent and glad to hear her actually singing instead of relying on auto-tune.

@Don't Tell LA
Because Andy wanted to put it on his blog. Does it any more justification than that?

See. This is what Scientology sounds like. Especially the last line: "I'm drowning". Pretty creepy.

Hauntingly beautiful music from a budding talent. I'll listen to it more than once.

No more of Will Smith's no-talent kids.

it's not brilliant, but it's not terrible for a 12 year old...
