| View Show | Create Your Own Evolution is an inevitable part of life and art is no exception. Maurice Smith set out on a journey in early 2005 to stretch his musical muscles in the City of Angels. The result has been a vocalist that has learned to tell a story rather through R&B or Rock & Roll. Smith has grown to become one of the most noticeable vocalists on the Los Angeles music scene. Listeners say that after they have seen a Maurice Smith show, they leave with a different view of him. Most listeners look at Smith and expect to sit and be serenaded to. But what really happens? Listeners end up clapping their hands and stomping their feet. What a change, what a change!!! Three years ago, if you were to see Maurice Smith, you would think that he himself were Cupid.
Smith has now included a wide variety of music in his show. Rather it is his high energy performance of Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Awayâ€, or the smooth delivery of his own hit “Midnight Dreamâ€, evolution has taken place. When you first pop in the EP from the forth coming album This Is Love, you are automatically taken to the days of Earth Wind & Fire with the blazing horns from “This Is Loveâ€. Smith sings to Love as if he had been waiting for that very day to tell Love how he felt. Always determined to make sure that his audience feels his passion, Smith puts his heart into this song every time he steps on stage. The second song on the EP, “Midnight Dream†is a song that listeners say makes them just say, “oohâ€. This song has such a smooth delivery and such passionate lyrics that listeners often find themselves mesmerized.
If you haven’t seen a Maurice Smith show you are cheating yourself on seeing a legend in the beginning stages of his career. Drawing comparison to the great tenors of our time such as Stokley, Raphael Saadiq, El DeBarge, and the greatest of them all Stevie Wonder, Smith has to have something that the world is in store to see. So open up your eyes and watch the Evolution of Maurice Smith.
