The record moves with a live-band feel โ horns, Hammond swells, tough rhythm guitar and a rhythm section that locks into a heavy swing, giving Smith the perfect space to testify, plead and burn. Her delivery shifts from velvet restraint to full-throttle rasp in an instant, channelling the raw emotional punch of classic soul while sounding urgent and present.
Thereโs gospel heat, R&B grit and a swaggering blues undercurrent throughout, but what really anchors โGoodthingโ is the sense of spirit and honesty in every performance. A powerful modern soul album with an old-school heart โ unvarnished, fiery and deeply human.
