You ever look at someone and thought “damn, they look like they Smell Real Nice?” Well, even if you don’t, let’s enter into the mind of Barny Fletcher, the man who created the song “Smell Real Nice.” Fletcher’s smooth flow switches from a hypnotic harmony to a form of rap singing with ease alongside piano keys playing in the background. It’s almost reminiscent of Chance The Rapper’s iconic album “Acid Rap” in the sense Fletcher isn’t afraid to be experimental and switch up as quickly as the beat changes. The lyrics also are as impactful as his punchy prose. Fletcher paints a picture of intense infatuation and attraction towards his partner, and he has a passionate desire for their deep and lasting connection. If you want to know what words of affirmation looks like, give Fletcher’s love letter, “Smell Real Nice” a spin.
