Willow Smith

"Jimi"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Feb 22, 2016

Willow Smith is back with more music since delivering the surprise Ardipithecus LP in December, though the track has apparently been hanging on the backburner for a few years. All the same, you can stream the recently uncovered "Jimi" online now.

While Ardipithecus bounced between genres fairly fluidly, "Jimi" finds Smith exploring neo-soul territory. Produced by AzZI, it features a chilled snare clack and velvet-soft synths supporting the singer's musing on the past, present and future.

"Intelligence is the key," she notes, adding that unlocking your mind may let you transcend time.

It gets a little metaphysical, and you can check out the track below.
