Jaden Smith Says He’s ‘Always in the Studio’ With Sister Willow: ‘Stay Tuned’
Written by djfrosty on July 1, 2024
Jaden Smith has known his biggest collaborator since the day she was born: little sister Willow, with whom he tells Billboard he’s always working on music.
Shortly after releasing his first single in three years, “Roses,” the 25-year-old singer-actor joined Billboard‘s Tetris Kelly for an unorthodox virtual interview posted Monday (July 1). Standing on a sandy dune with a guitar strapped around his shoulders — and occasionally singing lyrics in place of giving spoken answers — Jaden revealed that he and his 23-year-old sibling often take advantage of the fact that they’re both talented musicians.
“We’re always in the studio,” he said of his sister. “I got more songs with Willow than anyone else on the planet. Me and Willow, we’re locked in always, forever.”
He then teased that the Smith children are planning to release a fresh collaboration in the future. The pair previously teamed up on “Summertime in Paris” and “U Know,” both of which dropped in 2019.
“Stay tuned type sh–,” the Karate Kid actor hinted.
Jaden also teased throughout his interview with Billboard that he has more solo music on the way following “Roses,” some of which is inspired by a tough time in his personal life. “I was sad, honestly,” he said. “I wanted to share that.”
“Just to say something through music, I think it’s a lot easier than just straight up saying it,” he added. “It’s really only for the people who want to listen to it, it’s not for everybody. Kids out there sad and stuff, it’s for them.”
