“Open Ur Eyes” is a thoughtful composition that shows a window into SMILEZ’s psyche. The usage of repetition in this single will bury its melodies into fans’ brains. The guitar that builds up the backing instrumentation is perfect in that it is delicate enough to allow SMILEZ’s vocals ample highlighting. The vocal masks that gradually overwhelm the single’s final few seconds ensure that listeners will be eagerly anticipating the next drop from SMILEZ. The video for Open Ur Eyes (attached below) does a great job in showcasing the unique qualities of the song.
We’ve previously covered SMILEZ’s I Hate My Ex for the magazine.
