Stanley Merent, a.k.a. SLAE, is a second generation Haitian musician who writes electronic-infused R&B, Afrobeat and Pop. Currently based in Montreal, QC, SLAE’s moody single, “Smile,” incorporates English and French lyrics.
The song is inspired by his travels in the USA, and the fun, smiley moments he shared with his companions. In particular, it alludes to a sexual desire between the singer and a woman with a dangerously seductive smile.
While I was on vacation in the US, I wanted to take the time to enjoy and have a great time with beautiful people around me. After the trip, I started the writing process of the song and memorized the good smiley moments we had together – in particular with someone who has a dangerously sexy smile.
