A love like this is nothing I have known before, she sings on Make Sense, a track from her new album, Falling or Flying.
With a voice that often sounds like it's on the verge of tears, she brings flickers of vibrato, jazzy curlicues, grainy inflections and subtle pauses and accelerations to her phrasing.
Smith raises the tension in her songs by pushing the beat upfront, sometimes shifting it into double time.
