Carlton Jumel Smith - This is What Love Looks Like! (Official Video)

LP/CD/Digital: dapt.one/CarltonJumelSmith
After hitting hard in the soul circles with his deep Timmion Records debut single "I Can't Love You No More" and following it with "This Is What Love Looks Like," Carlton Jumel Smith is back at it with an album full of contemporary soul gold. The material mined here is none other than the vintage groove troves of classic 1970's r&b, something the Cold Diamond & Mink crew brews up effortlessly. The songwriting and expression by Carlton carry strong echoes of Curtom productions, Memphis soul and naturally Motown. We're talking about musical traditions he's incorporated into his expression since witnessing James Brown at the Apollo as an 8-year old.

One word to describe this man's song.......... INSPIRATIONAL!!!!

I HAVE HEARD THIS SONG FROM THE WAL - MART COMMERCIAL ❤️❤️❤️ !!! THIS IS WHAT LOVE ❤️❤️❤️ LOOK LIKE ❤️❤️❤️ !!! THIS IS A GREAT SONG 🎼 🎼 🎼 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎵 🎵 🎵 !!!

[@lindapearson2815]

Oh my goodness I did too., A commercial on t v...❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@patrickreilly9465]

Same here Dewayne, watching TV, saw commercial, and now can't stop listening to this. This has all the making of a classic.

[@claudiacamargo5104]

Me too, the wal-mart commercial,....Lord what have we become? LOL

[@tbssic1]

Same…

[@nansako8214]

So many underappreciated songs commercials are showcasing in the past couple of years. So glad they are finally getting the airtime.

[@johncarolina]

I've never heard this song or of Mr. Smith until today, when I heard a snippet of his song on on some news video and just had to look it up. From what I can see, he's an older musician who stayed true to his music without ever achieving great commercial success, and somehow the Walmart campaign found him and used his song. I'm so happy about that and hope that he has all the financial security he ever wanted now. I also wish him all the happiness he ever wanted as well, though I have a feeling that he's one of the lucky and wise few who already achieved that whether or not he was rich financially.

[@delilahkelly8043]

I love this song! My husband and I dance around our living room reveling in love!

[@annabellademus9719]

Put Carlton .J. Smith on your bucket list. He is definitely an entertainer you want to see live. Mr. Smith puts so much energy into his performance that you can't take your eyes off of him. I was mesmerized last night at "My Fathers Place in Roslyn NY by his strong, soulful and powerful vocals. Instant fan of the above song. Thank you, Mr Carlton Smith, for sharing your beautiful voice with the world.
