Porter Robinson - SMILE! :D (2024)
Porter Robinson's SMILE!
represents a dynamic and multifaceted addition to his discography, embracing both playful and introspective elements. The album features a variety of sonic influences, ranging from Y2K rave and pop-punk to acoustic interludes, reflecting Robinson's intent to craft an album filled with fun and absurdity yet unintentionally layered with emotional depth (The Skinny) (Wikipedia).Key tracks like "Cheerleader" and "Knock Yourself Out XD" highlight Robinson's talent for blending energetic, maximalist production with heartfelt, personal themes. The collaboration with Frost Children on "Mona Lisa" introduces a unique glitchy soundscape, adding to the album's eclectic nature. Overall, SMILE!
