We The Kings - Smile Kid Album Review (English)



This morning I received Floridian band We the kings last album, which was released last December 8th. Since that moment, the music of singer Travis Clark, guitarist Hunter Thomsen, bassist Drew Thomsen and drummer Danny Duncan have been with me until this moment.


With the antecedents we have from their first album, called “We the kings”, I didn't know what I could exactly expect of this new project, and I must say that the result has been really satisfactory.


In the first songs, “She takes me high” and “Promise the stars” we found a sound way happier than before in their music, and some lyrics made just to melt hearts. An example of this is the third track, which is official single for radio “Heaven can wait”.


In Smile Kid we can see songs talking about love, about promises, and about even more love. A wider variety of sounds than their first album.


I especially noticed two songs, “In-N-Out (Animal Style)”, song about Los Angeles, and duet with great singer Demi Lovato, “We'll be a dream”, that beginning with a sweet music box get to a climax that fill you completely.


It's a record that, like they themselves say, has a strong inspiration source in The Beatles music (“Anna maria (All we need)”), that is forceful from start to end and that during eleven songs keeps you entertained.


And in the other hand, if you buy the Deluxe Edition, you can enjoy two acoustic versions.

To sum up, it's an album that reasserts We the kings career and keeps them evolving in music.
