Smithfield have released their third EP – NEW TOWN – that marks a new chapter for the female-male duo Jennifer Fielder and Trey Smith. Giving a perfect glimpse into the next chapter of their musical journey. Listen to the new EP here.
SmithField have already made a name for themselves since the release of their stunning single ‘Hey Whiskey,’ now they are back kicking off a new chapter in their music with their third EP – NEW TOWN out everywhere now. Of the EP, the duo say, ‘After nearly a decade, we find ourselves so very proud of the music we have made and thankful to all of our SmithField fans for their support…NEW TOWN turns a new page with a new sound for SmithField. Come join us as we write the rest of the story.” What a story it is, across the breadth of the six songs co-written by SmithField’s Jennifer and Trey in collaboration with hitmaking songwriters Emily Landis, Trannie Anderson, Ian Christian, Mark Irwin, Adam Wood, Bobby Hamrick, and Emily Falvey, the duo take the listener on a journey of making something special feel new again – a relationship, job, friendship or town. It’s the story of fresh perspective and positions the duo as a dynamic force in the country industry – creating a woven narrative of highs and lows that is immensely compelling.
With SmithFeld’s musical style portraying a coffee conversation with both of them equally contributing to the “conversation,” they include songs “Something Sexy,” which is an ode to some of Country’s sexiest songs, “Burning Wings,” about knowing a relationship has taken a turn for the worse, but still trying to make it work through the fire, “Sunday Best,” which is about acceptance and loving someone or something through their flaws and scars, and “I’ll Never Stop,” about loving and losing someone, but never losing the love. And finally, the EP wraps with the highly relatable “We’ll Figure It Out,” which was written a few weeks before the pandemic and acted as a guiding light for the duo through the unpredictability that the last year brought. The project in its entirety is immensely charming and compelling – opening an exciting new chapter for the duo and what the duo exhibit more than any other is a sense of control, both over their own vocals and harmonies and in the narrative they are creating for their music. These are artists who know who they are and the story they want to tell.
