Music passes through generations, with music lovers rediscovering it in their own way. Fans often see Willow Smith perform different styles of songs, especially on her Instagram, but the latest one has left everyone on a nostalgic trip. In the latest upload, she can be seen strumming on a guitar in her home studio, vibing to Duke Ellington’s song. “Wish I was in <NY>”, she captioned the post. Smith did not sing the song but mouthed the words and added the classic track named ‘Take the, a’ Train’. This was just one of her practice sessions, but a new and surprising entry into the world of jazz.
This track is considered to be one of the most important ones in the history of jazz. It is an ode to life in the 1960s, especially of the elite black Americans in Harlem and their lifestyle. Fans in the comments were ecstatic, and some even hoped for her to release a jazz album in the near future.
The singer has certainly progressed, and fans have seen an evolution since she started making music first.
