Willow Smith is a Contemporary R&B and Dream pop act. Their catalogue also touches Hip hop, Indie rock and Jazz. Their sound grew out of Wicked Wisdom, Kate Nash, ¿Téo?, Avril Lavigne and Panic! at the Disco. Those roots explain a lot about how Willow Smith arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Nicole Scherzinger, Cassie, Rihanna, Mabel and Kelly Rowland, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nicki Minaj, SZA, Jhené Aiko, Travis Barker and Tierra Whack, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 42 connections around Willow Smith, reaching back through Wicked Wisdom and forward to Nicki Minaj.
