With whimsical guitar licks and an atmospheric feel, “Smoke” sets the scene for a chilled-out jam session in which Ayres pours his heart out. Throughout the song, he seems to be in the midst of smoking with someone all while trying to work out his feelings. This juxtaposition adds some depth to the song and his performances help bring the instrumental to a whole other level. “Smoke” is going to find its way onto a lot of r&b playlists soon, and it should certainly be added to yours.

Quotable Lyrics:

Well I don’t cry anymore (Yeah)
I’ve been waiting to see
Just how long I could go
Before my feelings got a hold on me
