Apollo Liberace’s latest release, “Smashin” struts through the night with a flirty confidence that’s in no hurry. It’s got a big electronic background with steady percussion and driving bass. It's like walking through the city lights with someone interesting across the room. Attraction is a give-and-take game, with a bit of danger balanced in with the invitation.” And then the hook “cause an eruption” returns, and the tension is inescapable. “Smashin” is smooth, but not sleepy, and finds a comfortable middle ground between R&B intimacy and after-dark movement; it sounds more right for the drive home than whatever comes next.
