Jon Henri - Smile
Jon Henri has the power to zap you out of this world and into his own creation in Smile, his latest number. Jon hits the sweet spot between musical, R&B, and rap. With a string of releases that have successfully left a mark in the indie music scene, this one feels a lot more personal. The track is almost a promise to be better and consistent in love, making love an action rather than a noun. Jon Henri makes his listeners yield at the altar of his love, and that is the power his music holds. He oscillates between personal and general, almost like a zoom in and zoom out. The notes mimic this sonic movement as well. Everything in this song is in motion, almost running. At no point does Jon allow for the pace to slow or fall, so most of the dynamic elements come from the lyrics and the vocals. He mimics the bubbling effect love has on your brain and in your body. He travels through a variety of landscapes through his voice and takes us with him as well. He gives us an image that every time his lover smiles, the smile illuminates the path towards his future. We can hear the rough edges in the production of the song, drawing us deeper into the song as he tells us that he isn’t holding back in this number! The same way Richard Gere was with Julia Roberts in Runaway Bride.
