LA-based artist Your Smith (formerly Caroline Smith) has released the audio and visualizer for "The Spot," via Neon Gold Records (Charli XCX, Christine & The Queens), her debut single under the new moniker. Published by Pulse Recordings (DRAM, Miike Snow, Gallant), Your Smith is currently wrapping up her debut EP, produced by Tommy English(BØRNS), Stint (Gallant, Aluna George) and Nicky J*Davey (Internet, Syd).
The Minneapolis native relocated to Los Angeles in 2016 where she began to find pieces of herself tucked into the folds of LA's rich musical history. Inspired by the cherished songwriters of her youth, she channeled that nostalgia, writing songs for the part of her that needed more of that feeling. "The Spot' is the result of that feeling", Smith writes, "the feeling of the 90s and the warmth and dustiness of the sounds mixed with the exciting evolution of modern music; the carefree vocals and the wholly accepted blur between masculinity and femininity in the music scene." She continues, "Your Smith is an embodiment of that identity. The blur, the warmth, and the familiarity. The change in name is less of a reinvention and more of an engagement with that part of me. I'm still me. I'm still your Smith."Videos
