Up and coming pop duo Smerz, based in Denmark, have blessed our ears with gentle club music with their debut EP, “Okey.”
Smerz, consisting of the duo Henriette and Catharina, just released seven songs that mesmerize us with the beauty of dark twisted pop.
The EP opens with a track titled, “Thrill” which is the highlight of the entire album. Both Henriette and Catharina know how to mesh their voices in the melody of the smooth beat and hard bass.
“Blessed” is about a girlfriend questioning whether or not her boyfriend is in it for the right reasons. She also sings about the length she’ll go to show how much he means to her. The jumping beats and vocals make it a fun sound.
“Because,” the debut single, is the heart of the entire EP. It’s about being in your twenties and being a bit confused. The techno beat with its elevating bass into this modern song capturing that robotic wave.
The sprinkles of beats in “You See?” repeatedly with techno whistles and echoes sends you on an electronic roller-coaster. “Girl” is a mini throw down on the dance floor with the lyrics, “I’ll be your girl” being shattered throughout.
With “Craig,” you are lost in an urban city with the waves of techno skipping through a crowd of people.
The finale of the EP is “Sure,” which showcases the harmony and vocals of Henriette and Catharina, the perfect ending. You hear the chunk of their voices in this masterpiece.
Smerz may just be getting started in the game, but I see longevity in their career if they continue to experiment and evolve with their music.
“Okey” gives me the magic, anthems, and intense bass that will grab you and take you on a journey of two women ready to stomp the music industry.
