Hours After Willow Smith’s Rendition of a 47-Year-Old Song, 6-Time Grammy Winning Funk Band Shower Love on Will Smith’s Daughter

Will Smith [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/] may have kicked off
his career in the music industry back in the 80s, and now it looks like his
daughter, Willow Smith [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/willow-smith/] is
taking over the reins. Right from her childhood, she has been making music and
building her own fan base. But with little over a decade since her first hit
song, ‘Whip My Hair,’ the singer received the compliment of a lifetime from a
6-time Grammy-winning Funk band.

Though everyone knows Willow Smith is extremely talented, the singer has outdone
herself with her latest cover. So much so that even the band’s song she covered
fell in love with it.


WILLOW SMITH RECEIVES LOVE FROM THIS ICONIC 70S BAND

Recently, one of Willow Smith’s covers garnered attention from the band she had
covered, Earth, Wind, & Fire. It was a rendition of their 1975 song, ‘Reasons’.
And to no one’s surprise, the 6-time Grammy winner loved it as much as her fans
and followers did. In fact, not only did the icons comment “Beautiful” but they
also re-shared her cover to their story earlier today
[https://www.instagram.com/stories/earthwindandfire/3204386908864469028/]. It
was captioned with a little yellow heart that was sure to have sent Smith into a
fangirl meltdown.

While their interaction with her cover probably made the ‘Fireball’ singer’s
day, theirs was not the only comment that got attention. Along with the famous
Funk band, there was also a Grammy-winning rocker in the comments. Lenny Kravitz
also praised Will Smith’s daughter for being given the right type of
“education” and said how much he loves to see her playing some Verdine White.

While the compliment came after the 22-year-old surprised her social media
followers, the cover of the 1975 song had everyone losing their minds over how
good she was.


WILLOW SMITH’S EARTH, WIND & FIRE RENDITION SURPRISES FANS

After dazzling at the Milan Fashion Week,
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-weeks-after-her-milan-fashion-week-dazzle-willow-smith-steps-out-for-pharrell-williams-once-again-at-a-special-launch/]
Willow Smith surprised her fans with ‘Reasons’ that she posted on her Instagram.
The song from the band is from their 1975 album, ‘That’s the Way of the World.’
It was initially mistaken to be a love song but was rather about the story of a
one-night stand, as lead singer Philip Bailey once revealed. The 22-year-old
went a different route, playing the classic in her own style.

While the singer enamored everyone with her funky vibe, it was her bass skills
that left everyone shaken, including the band members themselves. Throughout the
video, fans and followers could see the star bopping along to the beat as she
completely got into the music. However, from her latest rendition, one thing is
certain, she is extremely talented. And hopefully, she will not leave her fans
waiting too long for her next cover.

However, being a singer who can be seen covering her favorite songs in her free time is what truly got her into the glittery world of entertainment. She can go and on about the British Royal Family and everything Hollywood and doing so works like a shot of espresso for the writer. She aims to interview her favorite rapper, Nicki Minaj, some day. In her free time, you will find her playing Call of Duty, watching BoJack Horseman, or catching up on true crime documentaries.
