The song “Smartphone” is a trashy and critical take on the clever yet cunning device that accompanies our daily lives with emojis and at every step: the smartphone. This smart phone knows our contacts, calendar, health data, where we are and where we’re going, what we consume, our desires. And it eagerly passes on this information…
“My phone is a data mine – but my data are never mine” (full lyrics below).

“Smartphone” is a solo project by producer One Ton: from lyrics to music to the video, he did everything himself. And this time he also sang himself, fully aware that he is not really a singer: “I see myself here in the tradition of Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry. Normally, he produced vocal artists, but sometimes he sang himself. Perry knew, that the creative idea was sometimes more important than the beauty of a perfect vocal — as you can hear in ‘Roast Fish & Cornbread’.”

The result from One Ton: contemporary trash reggae with a heavy bassline and a song idea that immediately sticks in your head. A summer burner!
