'Smile' is a reggae song with an alluring and calm dynamic sound. Modernising traditional rhythmic and musical elements has led to the creation of this exquisite melody. We start with a spacious, wide and minimal synth-pad that contributes to the ambience of this song as well as the chord progression. The Vocals of Sam Xhri6 are smooth and soothing, putting forth the feelings and meaning of this song. In fact, the voice is passionate in singing and delivering the emotional aspect of this song. The flow of this song gets uplifted with tight and genre-favouring beats that become prominent slowly and steadily as the song goes on.
The crispy guitar tone is clean and cuts through the music adding to the flavour, accompanied by a crunchy bass tone that adds depth in contrast to the guitar. The staccato through all instruments and sounds generated from them creates many small and notable variations. Again, the soul of this song is the amazing vocal performance of Sam, appreciating the comforting composition and lyricism at its fullest. The warm and relaxed theme coexists with the jumpy and engaging energy of the rhythm. As the title is 'smile', this song brings a smile while listening to it.
