Review | A J Smith Kat Y (Ginge)
“Can I just say, thank you, thank you, thank you to TikTok for gracing me with such amazing talented artists and beautiful humans,” Diana gushed. The Chicago native has been thoroughly impressed by Smith, describing him as a “singer, songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentist among many, many mind-blowing talents.”
AJ’s musical journey is indeed remarkable. He’s been playing music since the age of three and even received a scholarship to study music composition at New York University, where he was mentored by the legendary Glenn Fry of The Eagles.
As for the new single, “We All Got Friends,” the music expert was instantly captivated. “When the chorus just kicked in with, ‘We all got someone who will lend a hand, and we all got someone who we can’t stand, but the world can tell you who to be.’ Yet, ‘We all got friends. We all got enemies.’ Those lyrics ring truer to everyone in this world.”
Diana believes the song’s message is one that resonates with everyone. “Everything that is mentioned in this song is what we all, as human beings, we all go through in life. It’s important to know that we all need to be the best versions of ourselves to surround yourself with good, genuine people who will support you through thick and thin and just enjoy life.”
With AJ Smith’s impressive musical pedigree and Diana’s effusive praise, “We All Got Friends” is sure to strike a chord with listeners far and wide.
