Bio
To look at the CD cover of his new project would make you think that J. Smit is trying to hide something. But he doesn’t want you to look into his eyes but rather, allow his lyrics to penetrate the deepest part of your heart. In fact, the vibe of Only You offers no apologies for being the kind of music that makes you feel good right down to your soul! It’s transparent. It’s authentic. It’s the sound that can bring back that spark of passion in even the most settled of lovers.
Imagine a style that delicately fuses together overtones of the industry’s smoothest crooners from Dave Hollister, Donnel Jones and Brian McKnight to Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye – talk about sexy! J. Smit has the finesse to imitate just the right blend of old-school delivery for an incomparable sound. But the soul? Now that’s all his own.
When you hear tracks like Honey Bunny and Touching Me you almost want to meet that woman that could make a brother like J. Smit bare the emotion of his love in such an authentic and transparent way.
“My sound isn’t commercial. It’s attached to this place of resolve that comes with finding that person that you feel is worth expending the emotions love brings. It’s crazy. It’s love.”
The tightly produced 14-track project takes you on a journey that allows you to reflect on what brought you to love, kept you in love and even may have caused you to walk away from it all like his favorite track Goodbye. Yet, at the end of the CD – be O.K. with the experience enough to hit 'repeat' and reflect on it all over again!
