Willow Owen, one of Take That hitmaker Mark Owen 's three daughters, has now taken to TikTok to show off her impressive vocal talent.
The flame-haired teen, whose mum is Emma Ferguson, captioned her latest music clip as "something different."
She was seen belting out a tune as she played the keyboard, leaving one fan to remark she had the "voice of an angel."
Another follower wrote: "Such a beautiful voice Willow I teared up I'll not lie.
"Absolutely on point kiddo."
A third then posted: "Definitely got your dad's talent, beautiful voice."
The Sun previously told how Willow has been spending time working on music in Los Angeles, where the family live, and has posted a handful of tracks on music-hosting website SoundCloud.
Proud dad Mark then shared a link to Willow's latest song Back To Me Now on Instagram.
The track shows off her ethereal vocals and it sounds surprisingly polished for someone so young.
Three years ago, Willow and her younger sister Fox, now 12, featured as guest backing singers on Mark's 2022 solo album Land Of Dreams.

Speaking to Bizarre at the time, Mark said: 'They are into all their own music but actually they're aware and interested in this, which is nice.
'The girls are singing on the record, doing backing vocals with two girls who have been performing with Foo Fighters, so that was exciting and a nice experience for them.'
As well as performing her music, Willow often lip syncs to a variety of videos on her page.
FAMILY AFFAIR
Actress Emma and Rule The World singer Mark met in 2004, and were engaged in 2006 after being together for two years.
What is a Nepo Baby?
A 'nepo baby' is a colloquial term used to describe individuals who have gained opportunities or success in their careers primarily due to familial connections or the influence of their well-known or wealthy parents, rather than solely through their own talent, skills, or efforts.
The term 'nepo' is short for 'nepotism', which refers to favouritism granted to relatives or close friends, often in a professional context.
Key Characteristics:
Inherited advantage: Nepo babies often benefit from their family's established reputation, wealth, or industry connections.
Access to networks: They typically have easier access to influential networks and resources within their chosen field.
Public perception: The term can carry a negative connotation, implying that their success is not entirely merit-based.
Industries Affected:
Entertainment: Many actors, musicians, and other performers are often labeled as nepo babies if they have famous parents.
Business: Individuals who inherit or are given significant roles in family-owned businesses.
Politics: Politicians who follow in the footsteps of their parents or other relatives.
Examples:
Children of famous actors who become actors themselves.
Heirs to business empires who assume executive roles.
Offspring of political figures who enter public office.
The concept of nepo babies is often debated, with some arguing that it undermines the notion of meritocracy.
Meanwhile, others believe that it is natural for families to support and help each other succeed.
They got married in November 2009 in a church in Cawdor, Scotland.
The pair also have three children together.
They have a son, Elwood Jack, born in 2006, and two daughters, Willow Rose, born in 2008, and Fox India, born in 2012.
The Take That boys have often brought their children to tours and rehearsals and Mark and Gary have children roughly the same age.
