“Smooth” is something different coming from Rachel Ohnsman corner, fusing together a catchy soundscape with theatrical story-telling origins of romantic attraction and a blissfully soulful RnB vocal – the result is something that feels like harmony and ultimately paves the way for a more creative, sensitive, and immersive RnB realm of tomorrow.
Rachel Ohnsman is a soul-pop artist, whose music incorporates tasteful harmonic language with catchy melodies and touching lyrics. She takes influence from artists like Sara Bareilles, Emily King, and Fiona Apple, while creating a sound of her own.
Together, she and Chyna J create an arrangement with a lot of ebbs and flow, much like the smooth action of waves lapping on a beach, which is quite beautiful, thanks to the extensive use of reverb and delay. As a result, there is a sense of sumptuous richness throughout.
The effect of “Smooth” is to draw the listener’s attention to the soft and soulful rhythm and…of course, Rachel Ohnsman vocals in the background. Or, more precisely, the intimacy of the lyrics — there’s a wide range of them on display detailing the smoothness of womanhood.
