Willow Smith, 11, who shot to fame with her catchy hit Whip My Hair, said on radio station 106 & Park, that the self-titled album will hit shelves and download sites on April 3rd.

She signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label in 2010 and has been working on material ever since. A spokesperson for the label said: ‘She has an energy and enthusiasm about her music that is truly infectious. It’s rare to find an artist with such innate talent and creativity at such a young age.’

The album will feature Whip My Hair, which reached number two in the official singles chart in March, as well as the follow-up 21st Century Girl and her collaboration with Nicki Minaj, Fireball.
