With January gone and the world of Pop well into February, music lovers can expect to be introduced to a number of newbies- all vying to win their hearts…and wallets.
However, with the backing of Motown, the blessing of Ne-Yo and the charisma of a young Bobby Brown, it’s safe to say B Smyth stands head and shoulders above the rest of his pack, bursting onto the scene with the budding hit, ‘Leggo‘.
So, as to truly understand what makes the 19 year old entertainer tick, That Grape Juice caught up with him last week as he prepares cuts for his debut album.
Get into it below…
On his journey thus far:
“I decided I wanted to pursue music about a year ago, and it all started with me covering artists on YouTube. I did Miguel’s ‘Sure Thing’ and started to get opportunities from labels. I showcased for all of them but Motown was the last one I performed for, and I knew from then that they were the best label for me.”
When quizzed on how influential Ne-Yo has been to his cause:
“Ne-yo’s the homie man. He’s definitely going to be a big part of the album. I know he wants to steer me in the right direction and wants the best for me. What’s so great about the album is that it’s really diverse.
You’ve got the songs like ‘Leggo’ but then you have the slow jams, or the songs you wanna play when you’re chillin’ with your girl. You really get to feel my personality on it which is important because some of my favorite artists (Miguel, Trey Songz) are good at expressing themselves with their songs, so I hope to be as successful as they are.”
His favorite Rappers are?
“Kendrick and Future,” he explained, “If I had to pick two Rappers that I could have on a remix to the single it would be them, it’s a really big song so I think they’d sound great on it…big fan of both.”

WOW!!!
HARSH!!!!!
…..AGREEED…. BUT HARSH! LOL
LOL LOL I mean, I do not mean to be rude, but it is true.
Oh shut up you dirty b****. You’d wet your pants if he offered it to you so don’t lie.
Yaaaass at them deleting your comment b****.
He can sing his ass off tho if yal haven’t, check his youtube videos out! This song is good but not as a 1st single tho. I also would of been cool with him not being a dancer and just being something like a trey songz (standing, posing, acting in the video) cuz dude has a excellent voice. But I will be buying his album anyways to see what direction he goes. Good luck Bsymth!
B? IS THAT YOU??
CTFU!!!! IDK if you come on this site often but if you’ve read my past post from months ago up until now. You could easily tell Im a regular fan of this site like everybody else. lol smh.
Dude can sing, idgaf about his sexuality as yal quoted above my post. It aint got nothing to do with me.
LOL YUP. It is him!
Hey B did u have suck Sam’s dirty d*** for this shout out? You popping up on TGJ all week.
I KNOW, I’M BEING SILLY!
HE CAN SING… BUT HE’S NOTHING NEW
I SWEAR ALL MALE R&/B POP STARS TRY TO BE THE SAME
ALWAYS WEARING BLACK
ALWAYS DOING THE SAME POP-LOCKING MOVES
ALWAYS HAVE SONGS THAT ARE NOT RADIO FRIENDLY
AND ALWAYS WANNA LOOK EXTRA IN INTERVIEWS LIKE WEARING GLASSES
THAT LOOK IS SOOO PLAYED OUT NO ONE BUYS IT AT ALL…. SO THATS WHY I THINK HE IS AT HIS PEAK UNLESS HE FINDS HIS OWN
LOL!, yea, I agree with that, from trey songz to usher, etc and now to him and do seem like everybody’s style is the same. And yea, thats why i said he could of kept dancing to him self. He doesnt come across as a dancer to me. smh I could tell.
And @Wrinkleflopface, go to bed fool.
That is what I said in my first report.
@IDK DON’T MIND THE POZ DUDE COMMENTING
HE HAS POTENTIAL I SEE… JUST HOPE HE USES IT.
HE’S GETTING PRESS SO I CAN’T HATE
Who is this FLOP? Never heard of or seen him!
You know theyre a label priority if TGJ posts on them. Virtually unknown and anonymous tbh, but very VERY s***. I definitely would let him have the cookies from my jar if he promised not to leave any crumbs, if you know what i mean.
*slides punties downe.
Breed me?
Why you little w****.
hahahahah!!!!!! okay!!!!!! Yes! get in!
can I watch?
Power to the s****.
GENERIC! Not checking for him!
Neyo has good taste. That’s all imma say.
LOL at the insinuation that Ne-Yo is f****** with this f**.
I can’t with your undercover shade
😀 😀
He is so f****** s***!
Tbh, I won’t be downloading this song, but this kid has what it takes to be a star. The video is solid, and the dancing is exceptional.
If another artists could sing your song exactly like you and nobody would care, what is the purpose? His vocals are WAY too over-produced. Jerimih, Jacob Lattimore, Mindless Behavior…all could’ve sang this song and nobody would even know the difference. The beat is cool but his “voice” is too generic for me in this song.
The song sucks, and it’s typical. It will flop. Too bad he’s a cutie with a decent voice & really nice dance moves.
