Smile Through It

R&B slow jam with laid-back swung drums, warm sub bass, muted guitar licks, and sparse keys; verse stays intimate and conversational, pre-chorus opens with layered harmonies and rising pads, chorus lands on a sticky repeated hook with soft gang vocals. Bridge strips to voice and keys, then final chorus returns with ad-lib swells, delay throws, and a glossy but aching close-mic male vocal mix.
