Martin Garrix announces ‘Smile’ with Carolina Liar will release Friday
Martin Garrix has announced that he will be releasing his next single, ‘Smile,’ with Carolina Liar this Friday.
Martin Garrix has announced the next single release for his catalog as he will debut his collaboration with Carolina Liar ‘Smile’ this Friday. Garrix first teased the track during his highly successful run of shows in San Francisco last month. So far, from the few snippets of the official track across social media and recordings taken of the live version, it seems that the fan reception of this song is high.
Garrix is no stranger to releasing music at a high volume. Constantly previewing IDs at his shows around the world, it was no shock that after the release of his euphoric anthem with Shaun Farrugia, ‘Wherever You Are,’ he quickly had his next track ready to go. After that preview in San Francisco, it didn’t take long for ‘Smile’ to make its way as an official sound on Instagram and TikTok for users to include in their posts. This signified that the track’s soon-release was imminent, but it was just a matter of if it would take more than a month.
‘Smile’ has a different style than the few past releases Garrix has put out. Many fans have compared it to the iconic sound that Avicii became known for, one similar to that of his and Garrix’s collaboration ‘Waiting For Love.’ While still euphoric, it is more minimalistic than the anthemic sound of the past few Garrix tracks. ‘Smile’ features the frontman of the Swedish-American band Carolina Liar, Chad Wolf. Wolf also has another band based in Los Angeles known as The Federal Empire. His bands have earned platinum records and Grammy nominations. They have also worked with artists such as Sam Feldt, OneRepublic and Lindsey Sterling.
‘Smile’ by Martin Garrix and Carolina Liar will be released this Friday. You can pre-save the track here.
