Overview
Cheap Smell is the second album from Kovacs, the Dutch singer Sharon Kovacs, whose smoky low voice has drawn comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Caro Emerald without leaning on either. It's a bigger, bolder record than her debut — pop hooks pushed up against soul phrasing and a darker, more theatrical edge.
The fifteen tracks swing from punchy singles like "It's The Weekend" and "Freakshow" to slower, smoldering pieces. Her voice carries it: weathered, controlled, and capable of switching from a whisper to a belt without strain.
A confident, hook-heavy album for listeners who like their pop with grit and a real vocalist at the centre.
