Heart In The Sand by Tai Smoove

One property of music that makes it so powerful is its ability to tune us in with our emotions, and to feel safe in expressing outwards. New York-based artist Tai Smoove is an artist who embodies this ethos, with his “dynamic by design” sound that is equal parts real and raw.

Hailing from the Bronx but now based in Yonkers, NY, it was Tai's mother who empowered him to become comfortable with truly expressing his feelings, a skill that has greatly contributed to the emotion that is laden in his music. Extremely versatile, Tai has been known to traverse the spectrum of music, flirting with Hip Hop, R&B, Pop, Dancehall, & even EDM. He has since gone on to release a slew of singles and two albums to date, 'Sound Wave' and 'Heart In The Sand'.

Tai Smooth's latest endeavor, 'Heart In The Sand', is a Caribbean inspired, R&B-infused sonic affair that pivots around heartfelt lyricism that expresses vulnerability, perfectly encapsulating the style that Tai has become synonymous with. Sentimental notions aside, Tai Smoove isn’t one to neglect groove, and always leaves room for his productions to translate on the dancefloor via his pulsing, hypnotic vibes.

Tai Smoove's "Heart In The Sand'' express vulnerability while alonging his listeners to still dance and enjoy the rhythm it provides. This project has seven tracks that are ordered in such a way that each song blends and transitions smoothly into each other; the tracklist was a very thorough and planned process which was very important to him, to provide a captivating and smooth transition of musically sonically throughout the EP.

"I wanted my fans to feel like the project was a journey and the only way I could truly provide this was by dedicating an enormous amount of time deciding and creating a tracklist that was captivating sound wise that didn't take you too far in any direction; I wanted them to see the growth within the project to where I was to where I am today"

My Favorites I must say are 'Dangerous Games','Grind',and 'It’s Funny' but currently listening to 'Nothing else to say'. Overall, 'Heart In The Sand' is a great project and deserves a listen. This EP is a perfect combination of songs to listen to while driving or heading out to the beach or vacation. If the cover isn’t an indication of feel good vibes then I dont know what it is. The song Grind you must listen to loud with the windows down trust me you’ll appreciate the infectious feeling of nostalgia.

If music hits you like it hits me then you’ll know the feeling im describing when everything hits right from the lyrics to the production to the overall sound.

Tai Smoove brings it home with 'Heart In The Sand' a collection of songs that blends perfectly after one another. I have to say this EP was prepared and packaged very well.
