Your Smith
Sun-drenched indie pop with a heavy side of funk and soul. Warm, groovy tracks that feel like a convertible ride through 1980s California.

Your Smith is the moniker of Caroline Smith, a Minneapolis-born artist who underwent a significant sonic rebranding upon moving to Los Angeles. Originally known for folk and indie rock with her band The Good Night Sleeps, her evolution into Your Smith marked a pivot toward a sophisticated blend of indie pop, funk, and neo-soul.
This transition was crystallized on the 2018 EP 'Bad Habit', produced largely by Tommy English. Her sound identity is defined by a 'West Coast' aesthetic: bright, sun-soaked arrangements, prominent melodic bass, and a vocal delivery that balances soulful grit with pop clarity. Critically, she is noted for her ability to maintain the narrative depth of her folk roots while adopting the rhythmic complexities of R&B. She occupies a cultural space alongside artists like HAIM and LÉON, appealing to listeners who value high-production pop that retains a 'hand-played' feel. Her influence web includes 70s yacht rock, 80s synth-pop, and 90s R&B, resulting in a timeless quality that avoids the pitfalls of fleeting micro-trends.
