Stephanie Smith is rising quickly to the top of her music genre with her smooth voice and upbeat sound. I will say that she may have had some pull when it came to breaking into the Media Spotlight, since she did go to school with my brother. He brought her name up and said she had been signed to a label, so I decided to give her a listen.
Her music is very comparable to Paramore, a band who in just a few months arrived on top of the entertainment world. The vocal similarities are undeniable between the two bands. I wouldn't go so far to say that Stephanie Smith is on the same level as Paramore, but the similarities are definitely there.
Smith's newest album "Not Afraid" is in stores now. Give it a listen. I would give it an overall grade of B. So maybe you should give it a listen before you buy it.
