Dee Smiff Wants His "time back" on New Single
Dee Smiff is digging deeper into his sound on every 2022 release. Over the past year or so, the Florida native has laid low, likely formulating strengths in his craft and experimenting with new avenues. Growth is evident, as Smiff's 2022 vision has produced some of his best work to date. His first release of the year, "swerve!," garners inspiration from an TDE-esque sound, where the artist introduces an exceptional bouquet of vocal intricacies for a robust listen. Now returning for his second release since encountering new heights, Dee Smiff releases "time back!."
The single plays in the realm of newfound sounds, embodying a sonically comprehensive track from vocal arrangement to subject matter. Soporific lyricism takes listeners into Dee Smiff's critical thoughts on time that appears to be slipping away. "Give me my time back, I've been chillin' on my own too long," he sings on the chorus, further affirming an impatience with peers and seemingly himself. Smiff realizes the worth of his time and how he may have undervalued it in the recent past, making it clear he's not yet where he wants to be. Keywords and phrases mentioning years passed and his age all add to the tone, and that honesty and self-transparency might be the pinnacle of this song. "I wrote this song at the end of 2020 when my life was in SHAMBLES," Smiff writes in an Instagram caption. Regardless of doubts or thoughts on his current standpoint, this effort is a precise step in the right direction and should only bring him closer to achieving those goals he envisions.
