If we had to describe LJ Smooth’s musical output in one word, we’d probably use ‘eclectic’. Both in its sonic and lyrical references, the project seems to flourish in a kaleidoscopic blend of RnB and Tropical vibes, birthing pieces that feel luscious, evocative but also fresh, groovy and uplifting. Perhaps that’s LJ’s biggest strength: creating his peculiar identity and standing out in an overcrowded industry. Now, the Miami talent returns with his latest effort, ‘All In’. In it, the listener will be introduced to bouncy and hypnotising energy, channelling everything from Afrobeat to Caribbean elements, passing through Pop and Dancehall.
Showcasing a strong gift for music since a very young age, LJ Smooth is the result of a long career as a singer and performer, a journey that took him from the Virgin Islands to the US, while playing the drums in church and absorbing a myriad of influences listening to his dad’s records at home.
It is often the case: we are shaped in our musical form as children, a feature that expands and grows with age, eventually making us artistic beings. LJ Smooth knows it well: his music results from years of formation and knowledge, allowing him to step into the scene with confidence and charisma.
