Dominic Fike’s How to Quit Smoking is a bold, genre-defying collection that blends raw lyricism with infectious hooks, showcasing his knack for storytelling and sonic experimentation. The album spans fifteen tracks, each offering a distinct mood while maintaining a cohesive energy. From the introspective WALLFLOWER to the vibrant SMALL TOWN, featuring guest vocals from Gabriel Jacoby and Emma Ogier, Fike crafts songs that balance grit and melody. Standout moments include the anthemic PANGEA, the haunting DOOMSDAY with Reggie’s contribution, and the dreamy HONEYLOVE, which features Grace Ives. Each track pulls listeners into its own world, whether it’s the nostalgic pull of RENO or the cinematic sweep of CITY OF STEEL, which closes the set with a sense of grandeur.
Collaborations like CASTING CALL and CABBY, the latter pairing Fike with Emma Ogier and Love Spells, add layers of texture, while deeper cuts like WHITE KEYS and the introspective SPOTLIGHT / INNER CHILD, featuring Tay-K, highlight the album’s emotional depth. How to Quit Smoking isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a journey through Fike’s perspective, where each verse feels like a snapshot of life’s contradictions. The blend of introspection and energy makes it a standout work for fans of modern music that refuses to stay in one lane.
