YOUR SMITH
CHELSEA JADE, DJ AARON AXELSEN

Last month, LA-based artist Your Smith released her sophomore EP Wild Wild Woman via Neon Gold Records HERE, a collection of records that Smith encourages listeners to "Put it on. Turn it up. Go wild." The video for "Man of Weakness" HERE, a one-shot affair that follows Smith as she unleashes her own "wild woman" upon a busy Los Angeles Diner and Bar. Her music has been described as, for instance: "a delectable, synth-pop injection of pure funk that eventually descends into a minimal, sexy breakdown." by NY Magazine's Vulture and "we all could use Your Smith on our playlists" by Refinery29. Earlier she revealed the EP-tracks "Wild Wild Woman", "In Between Plans" and "You Could've Told Me".

The Minneapolis native relocated to Los Angeles in 2016 and after years of releasing her music under her given name, Caroline Smith, she let go of her insecurities and reawakened herself under the new moniker Your Smith.

Her newfound steadfastness, boldness, and unapologetic nature through her alter ego flourishes in her, acoustic driven single, "You Could've Told Me," as she sings, "You could've told me, when you met me, all your love was gone." Smith's freedom of her new self appears through her previously released, carefree single, "Wild Wild Woman," HERE, an anthem for the wild woman that lives inside us all, begging to be let out. The warm, synth-pop gem is tinged with Funk and R&B rhythms, Smith's silky, smooth voice, and a beat that's danceable until the very end.

Following this lighthearted essence, Smith released "In Between Plans," HERE, a song inspired by an acid trip on a catamaran in Nicaragua. Written in a jungle hut at Neon Gold's prestigious NEON GOLDEN writing retreat, the session was attended by Tove Lo, Phoebe Ryan, What So Not and more. It was there she was able to shove self-doubt aside and take her artistry to a new level.

Minneapolis native Your Smith (aka Caroline Smith), relocated to Los Angeles after signing to Pulse Recording (DRAM, Miike Snow, Gallant, et. al). Inspired by the history of Laurel Canyon and moving through a city that's been immortalized in music throughout the ages, Smith concocted her own sound, bringing together the funk / R&B "Minneapolis Sound" of her roots and the classic songwriting of the LA folk heroes.

Your Smith released her debut EP Bad Habit, in August 2018 on Neon Gold Records (HAIM, Christine & The Queens, et. al) and concluded a US headline tour in September followed by international dates supporting RHYE in winter 2018.

She has resumed collaborating with producer Tommy English (BØRNS, Kacey Musgraves) as well as Alex and Alex, Captain Cuts, and Ethan Gruska (Phoebe Bridgers) to create her sophomore EP, a collection of five songs embodying the essence of a past era, but capturing the perspective of the moment and this current climate of the world.

Your Smith's second EP, Wild Wild Woman, debuted on September 13, released on Neon Gold Records and Liberator (AUS/NZ). "This is an anthem for the wild woman that lives inside us all, begging to be let out..." http://yoursmithforever.com/
