Finding It Hard to Smile marks the full-length debut for sleek-toned Hollywood pop trio Lovelytheband. Riding the momentum of their hit 2017 single "Broken," the band issued their first EP, Everything I Could Never Say…, later that year. In addition to a host of new songs, this lengthy 16-track album includes both "Broken" and the contents of their EP. Produced once again by the band's longtime collaborator Christian Medice, Smile expands on their bright mix of slick synth pop and catchy guitar-led indie pop.
