Italian artist Aria has truly outdone himself with his latest release, an infectious and impossibly rhythmic single titled, Smile. Featuring an ensemble of celebrated world-artists, Smile pays homage to the hard-earned expertise gained with Aria’s decades-long career in the music industry.
The unmistakable beats of Smile are influenced by Central and South American genres of Rumba and Cha Cha and made all the more lush with jazz and RnB influences. The groove is further elevated by American bassist, Joseph Patrick Moore, the old-school-style analogue engineer and recording set-up and the all-star management including Nicolette Turner’s poignant lyrics, Ariel Jones’ bilingual vocals, Marco Lelpo’s 12-string guitar, Cosobatero’s drums and percussion, Tom Rossi’s 2nd percussion, Brazilian Horn section’s brass section, Carlos Sosa Horns’ 2nd brass and Francisco Martìnez’s Bandoneon. Inspired by Aria’s own philanthropic and political successes, Smile expresses a positive message of universal brotherhood on what can only be described as raucous and contagious rhythms.
The music video for Smile brings together viewers from all backgrounds, languages, walks of life, and cultures to embody and interpret the dance of Smile in their own unique ways. Smile is now live and ready to be streamed worldwide. It’s the perfect track to get you tapping your feet, nodding your head, and grooving the night away with your pals. This certified bop from Aria and his all-star team of musicians is the only pick-me-up-and-go you need!
