LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's 11-year-old daughter, North West, made waves with her bilingual talent on FKA Twigs' latest album, 'Eusexua'. The track, 'Childlike Things', featured North rapping in Japanese, sparking a hilarious meme fest online and surprising fans with her unexpected musical debut.

On the shortest track of the album, North delivered a brief verse praising Jesus Christ in Japanese, seamlessly blending into the outro. The song, which delved into ethereal pop and electronica-infused rhythms, captured both Twigs and North exploring "supersonic powers" and childlike imagination.



 

North West takes bold step into new musical territory

With a house-inspired beat by Koreless and Ojivolta, the track effortlessly combined the mystical and whimsical.

Released on January 24, 'Eusexua' marked a significant step for North, as this was her first official venture outside her previous musical collaborations with her father, Kanye West.

North had previously featured on tracks like 'Talking' and 'Bomb', but 'Childlike Things' introduced her to an entirely new genre with FKA Twigs.

Kim Kardashian proudly shared the collaboration on her Instagram story, promoting the track and writing, “@fkatwigs ft NORTH out now!” North was also credited as a writer on 'Childlike Things'.
