160. "Smile" by PoP Is ArT [iTunes? Yes]
"Everything is gonna be just fine."
I found the group PoP Is ArT one day while fiddling around on the iTunes store. I was looking around at the "If you like _____, then you might like ____." Apparently, if I like ELO, I might like PoP Is ArT.
And I do. I listened to the preview and liked it enough that I bought the album. This is the best song from their album "Epiphany." There are a few other good songs on the album, too. (And some of the songs have more of a Pink Floyd feel than an ELO feel.) "Smile" has a "Mr. Blue Sky"-esque feel to it. And, it has a nice message. (The message being: Smile, things will get better, everything will be just fine.)
It's a good thing I like the song. Because I find the use of capitalization in the group name of "PoP Is ArT" to be more than a bit pretentious. Hey, I'm all for being weird, but not if it seems like your are trying too hard.
