Porter Robinson Surprises Fans with Bold New Album “SMILE! :D”

Porter Robinson is almost unrecognizable in his latest album,”SMILE! :D”, a recklessly beautiful dive into the torn pages of his mind and the cleansing climb back to himself. “SMILE! :D” is a dopamine-fueled existential crisis that introduces fans to a new Porter—a post-EDM realist bleeding with candor. The boy who once tore up festival stages with formulaic, rave-fueled electro is now a complex soul creating tender alt-pop to mend the heart’s most tormented moments.

Robinson’s reinvention reflects an artist unafraid to evolve, even through the vertigo of that strobe light headache. Life in the public eye is a plank on which all artists eventually walk, and it’s too easy to grow nihilistic, especially when you feel endlessly misunderstood. Sacrifice and compromise become routine as they relinquish pieces of themselves to perpetuate a hollow commercial image.
