Album story
editThe #Smiley10 Project
editThe album on "Confesiune" features the #Smiley10 project, a marathon of tenmusical confessions which celebrated ten years since the release of Smiley's first singles hit, "În lipsa mea" which headlined the namesake album. It debuted on March 10, 2017, with the manifesto piece "Flori De Plastic", whose video, in the form of a short animation film, is the first of its kind released by Smiley.
This was followed by the single "De Unde Vii la Ora Asta?", which achieved one million views on YouTube on the first day after its release, and almost 50 million to date. "Mr. Smiley", a funk song in which Smiley sings the refrain of his life, "Să-mi Fie Vară", "Rara" and "O Altă Ea", "Ce Mă Fac Cu Tine De Azi?", featuring Guess Who, Pierdut Printre Femei, "Waltz" and "O poveste" completed the list of songs released in the ten months of the #Smiley10 project, a multimedia musical confession, a marathon of releases and innovations that stretched over the course of a year and culminated in an album release, the fourth of the artist's solo career, "Confesiune".[6][7][8]
