(Pre) Friday Flash(back)

Willow Camille Reign Smith is maybe the youngest so far for the Friday Flash(back). However last Friday she released her sixth studio record. Yes her sixth, she was only born back in October 31, 2000), me personally, I was just finishing year 12 then!

Willow, is the only daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, making her acting debut in the 2007 film I Am Legend alongside her father.

Back in 2010, Smith launched her music career with the platinum-certified single Whip My Hair, yes remember that song! Only now to release a record classified as a jazz record.

That same year, Smith signed to her mentor Jay-Z's record label Roc Nation, becoming the youngest artist signed to the label. 

Smith's debut album, Ardipithecus (2015) explored neo soul. Its single Wait a Minute! was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. 

Her second and third albums, The 1st (2017) and Willow (2019) followed after and were met with positive reception. 

In 2021, Smith released her fourth album Lately I Feel Everything, which spawned the single Transparent Soul, which was certified gold in the US. Later that year, she earned another top 40 entry on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single Meet Me at Our Spot as part of The Anxiety with Tyler Cole. 

In 2022, Smith released her fifth album, Coping Mechanism. Her latest album, empathogen will be here to stream tomorrow morning. If you missed it last Friday, don't miss it tomorrow! See you then!
