"Permeate" by Marcus Smith: A Lyrical Love Letter

teethsound.com

Marcus Smith is an artist who provides us with something special, especially in today's world of hip-hop: a love song that has real emotion in it but is also a love letter to memory, art, and personal history. Smith is from Cleveland, Ohio, and we hear him join forces with UK producer FLX and Atlanta artist Bedrooms to create something that feels uniquely personal, yet it resonates widely. "Permeate" is an excellent word choice for the song because it permeates your soul. Slowly. What remains is the emotional arc of storytelling, and its melodic warmth hangs around for quite a while.

Smith's writing process for "Permeate" was serendipitous. He randomly heard a beat drop on Discord and then had a passionate ask from his wife. Smith's account indicates a song that feels genuine.

The lyric portrait "I didn't know I could love this much", which is expressed with raw emotional authenticity, is at the heart of the song. The music video develops the nostalgic and artistic implications of the song, inside the Cleveland Museum of Art, where Smith states he has a lifelong connection to art.

What is particularly special about “Permeate” is not limited only by its production across continents or the depth of its cause; rather, it is the deep vulnerability that Marcus exposes in a genre where love is relegated to the sidelines.

“Permeate” is a testament in poetic form with sonic refinement to the fact that sometimes love is the loudest announcement an artist can make.
