If you missed Baileigh Jane’s previous single “Do You Feel the Same Way” which we covered a couple of months ago, this is a good time to catch up. “Smash Your TV” is the latest step in their journey and it’s a track I was happy to spend some time with.
This is a laid-back song that fits an easy afternoon really well. I listened to it on my porch around 4 pm, and the whole thing had the right kind of vibe for that moment. I really like how nothing is fighting for attention here. The melodies are soft, the singing is smooth and captivating and there’s a nice tone in the vocals that kept you listening.
I really liked the instrumentation. There’s so much going on, but it never sounds crowded or overly full. Everything has its place and everything supports the vocals and melodies. That balance makes the song easy to sit with and I think Baileigh’s style works well when they keep things this relaxed. The chorus was the part I enjoyed the most and some of the melodies stayed with me after the song finished. There’s also a simple idea behind the track about stepping away from screens and paying attention to what is around you, which fits the relaxed mood.
This is another solid release from an artist I trust and believe in. I enjoyed this one a lot and I’m sure Baileigh Jane’s next releases will have a place on Cheers To The Vikings home page too.
