Vintage Soul Singer Ten Smith to Release New Single “Crochet” on March 17th, 2026
Rising R&B Singer Ten Smith to Release New Single “Crochet”
R&B artist Ten Smith continues to carve out her space as one of Nashville’s most sonically, fearless and purpose-driven voices. Known for transforming personal experience into powerful, soul-rooted records, Smith has built her artistry on honesty, resilience, and unapologetic self-expression.
Ten’s music lives at the intersection of culture, vulnerability, and strength. She has established a reputation for commanding the stage while creating deeply intimate moments with her audience. Her work centers on empowerment, particularly for women. Some of her notable collaborations have been with Bootsy Collins, Marty Swarts, Angie Stone, grammy nominated soul and jazz singer; Bilal, grammy winning duo; louis york and Ruby James. Ten has also made a TV appearance on The Voice season 25 and America’s Got Talent.
Ten is stepping boldly into a powerful new season, with a string of live performances that reflect both her artistic growth and personal resilience. Fans can catch her upcoming shows at Analog, at the vinyl lounge, followed by a very special night at Flamingo lounge where she will celebrate the official video release of her empowering anthem “Boss Lady TEN.”
Part of her mission extends beyond the stage: TEN is deeply committed to pouring into the next generation of music industry leaders. She actively supports the ground breaking music business program at Dark Horse Institute, led by Grammy Award winning producer Shalom “J Storm” Miller, whose credits include icons like Missy Elliott and Beyoncé. For TEN, legacy isn’t just about music, it’s about evolution.
On her recent milestone birthday, she was surrounded by supporters, community, and love. At the heart of this season is her deeply personal new single “Crochet,” a record that marks both a sonic and personal evolution. Layered with textured production and striking vocal delivery, the song embodies the idea of stitching yourself back together in your own design, reclaiming identity, voice, and power. This song was born during one of the most vulnerable periods of her life, when she experienced a profound mental and emotional break that forced her to slow down, reflect, and rebuild herself piece by piece.
During her healing journey, she found comfort in learning to crochet, an art form that reflected her own restoration, carefully stitching together strength, faith, and identity. TEN turned pain into purpose, weaving her story into a magnificent masterpiece: a song that embodies healing, creativity, and the beauty of intentionally making broken pieces whole again.
As she steps into this next phase, Ten Smith is not simply releasing music, she is building a movement rooted in culture, empowerment, authenticity, and fearless storytelling.
With “Crochet” and her upcoming performances, Smith sets the tone for what’s ahead: elevated sound, intentional growth, and an unwavering commitment to using music as both mirror and megaphone.
