On her multi-faceted new album Smile, the sultry singer and songwriter goes deeper emotionally than ever before. Inspired by the steep challenges and great joys of keeping a long term relationship afloat, the 10 track collection invites fans and new listeners alike to experience compelling moments along the journey—from confusion and darkness to sparks of daylight and the assurance that no matter what, all will somehow work out for the best.
Carol co-produced Smile (and co-wrote all but one of its songs) with Grammy nominated keyboardist, recording artist, composer and producer Jeff Lorber, who played on her popular 2002 release Duboc and co-wrote the track “I Wanna Love Someone” with her on that album. Lorber invited several of the studio greats who worked on his most recent Jeff Lorber Fusion recording Galaxy to add their jazzy sensibilities and soulful power to the Smile sessions – including drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, electric bassist Jimmy Haslip and guitarist Michael Thompson. Select tracks of Smile feature Grammy nominated bassist Brian Bromberg.

Baby talk...
Baby talk
How can a man as smart as you
open up to a world so new
when all my words are 'I Love You'
and in my mind it's just you all the time...
Ah Goo-goo gaa-gaa gaa-gaa gaa-gaa gaa-gaaaa Oooo...
Baby talk...
Baby talk...
Baby talk
I'm so in love I can't explain
How come the sun drys up the rain
cause with my eyes it's hard to see
with all the love that is inside of me...
Ah Goo-goo gaa-gaa gaa-gaa gaa-gaa goo-goo goooo...
Baby talk...
Baby talk
I'm so in love, so in love...
Soo-O-ooo Soo-O-ooo...
Ah goo-goo gaa-gaa gaa-gaa goo-goo-gaa-gaa...
Baby talk...
Baby talk...
Baby talk
I'm so in love, I can't resist
even the thought of your tender kiss
cause in my heart, my feelings are deep
knowing that you, that it's you I wanna kiss
Aah goo-goo gaa-gaa gaa-gaa goo-goo goo-goo gaaaa...
Baby talk...
Baby talk...
Baby talk.
goo goo goo goo gooooo...
