Single of The Day: Willow Smith - Whip My Hair

Oleh: welly - 11 Jan 2011

Image and video hosting by TinyPicBerusia 10 tahun, telah berhasil menembus Billboard Top 100 dengan menduduki peringkat 11 dan membuatnya sebagai artis solo termuda dalam sejarah yang melakukannya? Siapa lagi kalau bukan Willow Smith dengan lagu Whip My Hair-nya! Putri dari pasangan aktor-aktris Will Smith dan Jada Pinkett Smith ini bahkan telah menandatangani kontrak dengan label rekaman milik Jay-Z, Roc Nation. Penyanyi sekaligus aktris cilik pemenang penghargaan Young Artist Award untuk Best Performance in a Feature Film (Young Ensemble Cast) ini berhasil membawa single pertamanya meraih kesuksesan di tangga lagu bahkan bagi para penikmat musik, terbukti dengan semakin banyaknya anak-anak pra-remaja memposting video mempraktekkan goyangan Smith dalam lagu tersebut. Video klipnya sendiri disutradai Ray Kay, salah satu sutradara handal yang telah menangani banyak video klip diantaranya Baby-nya Justin Bieber ft. Ludacris dan Pokerface-nya Lady Gaga. Ditangani oleh banyak ahli semacam itu, siapa lagi yang akan meragukan Smith untuk menjadi another (pre)teen pop sensation of the year?

Whip My Hair sendiri berisikan lirik yang catchy dan mudah dihafal karena tidak menggunakan banyak kalimat – kecuali I whip my hair back and forth tentunya yang muncul secara repetitif. Lirik yang dibawakannya juga cukup sesuai dengan umurnya, dan berisikan nasehat yang baik untuk para pra-remaja seusianya untuk tidak ragu melakukan hal yang mereka sukai dan berani untuk menunjukkan pada dunia siapa mereka sebenarnya.

Diusung dengan aliran pop dan beat yang cepat, serta dihiasi dengan suara Smith yang sudah terdengar cukup mantap untuk anak berusia sepuluh tahun, single ini memang merupakan angin segar di kalangan para pencinta musik – bahkan saya saja sempat terkecoh mengira ini adalah single lain dari Rihanna karena warna suara mereka hampir sama meski suara Smith tentu terdengar lebih halus karena umurnya yang masih anak-anak. Walau kehadirannya (terutama selera fashionnya) sering dibandingkan dengan Rihanna – banyak media bahkan menjuluki bocah ini sebagai the next Rihanna! - namun saya tetap yakin Smith akan memberi warna tersendiri dalam belantika musik internasional, seperti penampilannya di video musik Whip My Hair ini. Sembari menanti karyanya yang lain, tidak ada salahnya jika kalian mencoba melakukan gerakan headbang sang penyanyi cilik ini – tentu saja dengan resiko leher bakal terceklik, hihihi.

Lyrics:

I whip my hair back and forth

I whip my hair back and forth (just whip it)

I whip my hair back and forth

I whip my hair back and forth (whip it real good)

I whip my hair back and forth

I whip my hair back and forth

I whip my hair back and forth

I whip my hair back and forth

Hop about the bed turn my swag on

Pay no attention to them haters cuz we whip em off

and we ain't doing nothing wrong

so don't tell me nothing, i'm just tryna have fun

so keep the party jumping

so whats up (yea)

And I'll be doing what to do

we turn our back

and whip our hair and just shake them off

shake them off, shake them off, shake them off

Don't let haters keep me off my grind

Keep my head up i know I'll be fine

Keep fighting until i get there

When i'm down and i feel like giving up i think again

I whip my hair back and forth

I whip my hair back and forth (just whip it)

I whip my hair back and forth

I whip my hair back and forth (whip it real good)

I whip my hair back and forth

Soon as i hit the stage applause im hearing it

When i'm down and i feel like giving up i think again
