Smile is the third studio album from Simon Webbe. The album was released on 13 October 2017. The album is the first collection of solo material from Webbe in a decade.
Discussing the meaning behind the album title, Webbe told Entertainment Focus: "The album is called Smile because not a lot of people are smiling these days. Everybody's too busy using their phones to connect, nobody's really connecting anymore. For me, I just wanted to put a title out there that was self-explanatory and will hit home."[4]
The album is inspired by Webbe's fiancé Ashen Kemal, to whom he proposed on Valentine's Day 2017.[citation needed]
The album hit number 76 in the midweek UK Album Chart Update, however ultimately failed to chart in the Top 100.
Singles[edit]
"Nothing Without You" was released on 12 July 2017 as the album's lead single.[5] "Flashback" was released as the album's second single on 6 October 2017.
