Willow Smith “21st Century Girl”

Posted by Brandon Kim on
The world is Willow Smith’s sandbox in her new video for “21st Century Girl” where the rising star gets summoned from a pile of bones, beads and toy guitar on the ground by a medicine woman. Soon after Willow, who does what she likes, runs around the desert with wolves before getting her “Inception” on — conjuring all manner of fun things from nothing, before raising an entire city from sand.
Why? So she and her girls can dance and sing in the streets, wearing a shirt that says “boys need training,” of course. I wish she pulled some King Crimson out of the sand too, but I appreciate the spectacle. With over a minute and 30 seconds of screen time before the song even starts, and such a point at establishing her in this cinematic context, I think Willow may be turning in a serious big screen role sooner than expected.
