Inspired by Proverbs 17:22 – “A cheerful heart is good medicine” – Smile is a heartfelt anthem that delivers a message of healing, hope, and joy. With soulful vocals and spirit-led production, Finkley invites listeners to embrace the healing power of gratitude and worship, even in life’s toughest moments. “This song was born out of a season where I had to intentionally choose joy,” said Finkley. “I realized that no matter what’s happening around me, I can still smile because of who God is. That smile isn’t fake – it’s faith.” Known for his dynamic presence and faith-rooted storytelling, Michael Finkley blends his gospel foundation with a modern, worshipful sound in Smile. The single is the lead release from his forthcoming worship album, set to debut later this year. The project will feature a collection of spirit-filled songs centered on hope, healing, worship, and the unwavering love of God. “This upcoming album is one of the most personal things I’ve ever created,” Finkley shared. “It’s my worship, my testimony, and my offering to God and to everyone who needs a reminder that joy is still possible.” Smile is more than a song – it’s a declaration. In a world facing uncertainty and pain, Finkley delivers a reminder that joy isn’t just a feeling – it’s a gift from God that can light the way forward. “Smile” is available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all digital streaming platforms.
