Interview with Maurice Smith

Be Loved

“Someone ought to reach out to me” and “my mind is in trouble when I wonder about you” are just some of the notable and impactful lines that blast from the song “Be Loved” by Maurice Smith. Honestly, this song is very beautiful and it reminds me of old school Kanye West mixed with Nas. Incredibly poetic and thoughtful, Maurice Smith knows how to make the ladies swoon. “Be Loved” is romantic and smooth. This is the perfect track to make love to.

God Save Us

Beautiful keyboard riffs, held out boomy bass, and drums that hit in just the right places. “God Save Us” isn’t just a song, “God Save Us” is an anthem. The piano riff is absolutely beautiful and knows when to breathe before Maurice Smith comes in with the fire and heat. Everything about this song is a hit and the production value is top notch. “God Save Us” already has an impressive 23,000 streams and we know that it will only continue to go up, up, and up. We had to reach out to have an interview with Maurice Smith and share his talent with the world.
