Album Review: Your Smith Turns A “Bad Habit” Into A Very Good EP

Your Smith’s Bad Habit feels like the 2018 version of Sheryl Crow’s “All I Wanna Do.” You just feel like Your Smith is in Santa Monica Boulevard happily singing her comments on life, love, and passersby. She has a chic, unfettered vocality that turns “Bad Habit” into a succinct, saccharine delight. 

I can summon my feelings on Your Smith’s Bad Habit in one giphy:

The four-track EP bops with a groove that infects your musical bloodstream with rhythm. Your Smith’s chords and drums seemingly clap as if arranged to feel like a hand game. Yet, such a vibe amps up that she is confronting how she and others play at life. From “The Spot” to “Debbie,” Your Smith understands how people casually lie to themselves and each other but not always in malice. Sometimes, we have to lie to ourselves to get by such as, “In Between Plans” or “Bad Habit.” After all, people consider hope a lie, but, maybe, it is the path we need till we can get to the truth. 

Sonically, Bad Habit swings and waves as if you are swimming through an ocean based in Adventure Time. Every melody is hued by fantasy and a childlike colorfulness for adults, which plays to verses on the difficulties of “adulting.” Again, whether our lover lies to us or we do it to ourselves, Your Smith sings to how we all tell a fib to feel more fabulous, and, sometimes, that is okay, especially when it comes to dancing the night away. Blessed with a voice that syrups over beats, Your Smith’s Bad Habit is like popping a candy to satisfy your sweet tooth. You simply need a quick burst of dance to pickup your spirit, and Your Smith provides the energy.  For More Information On Your Smith And To Buy Bad Habit On August 24 Click Here.
