Smile (Skindred album)

Smile is the eighth studio album by Welsh rock band Skindred. It was released on 4 August 2023, through Earache.

Background
On 16 March 2021, the band signed a global four-album deal with the British label Earache Records. The first song to come out of the signing was the lead single "Gimme That Boom", released on 8 November 2022. A "hard-hitting" "ragga-metal" track, it describes lead singer Benji Webbe's encounter with a selfish fan.

The producing process was supported by Julian Emery and sound engineer Pete Hutchings, who had previously worked with Royal Blood and Florence and the Machine. The album also sees the celebration of their 25th band anniversary.
