Step into a room lit only by thought and memory โ where every note sways like flame, and silence is a character all its own. โPLAY ME LIKE SMOKEโ is not just a song. Itโs a scene. A sigh. A story with no name. Wrapped in velvet shadows and lit by the soft glow of a cigarette in an ashtray, this sultry jazz ballad blends sonic intimacy with cinematic atmosphere to deliver something unforgettable.
From the first breathy whisper to the final clarinet echo, the track invites you to linger. To let the smoke swirl. To listen not just with ears, but with emotion.
