Confesiune (in Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan pronounced as /conˈfeˈsjuˈne/; (Confession)) is the fourth studio album by Romanian singer Smiley, released on December 10, 2017, by Cat Music and HaHaHa Production.[1] [2] The album peaked at number one in the Romania Top 100 charts with the single "Ce mă fac cu tine de azi?", spending four weeks in both top 10 and lower places of the Romanian charts.[3] The album has won the 2018 Radio România Actualităţi Awards category of the Best Album.[4] [5] It also featured Juno and Guess Who as collaborators. The total of 13 tracks from the album are preponderently interpreted in Romanian, with a couple of exceptions where the songs are also interpreted in English.
The #Smiley10 project celebrated ten years since the release of Smiley's first singles hit, "În Lipsa Mea" which headlines the namesake album. It debuted on March 10, 2017, with the manifesto piece "Flori De Plastic", whose video, in the form of a short animation film, is the first of its kind released by Smiley. This was followed by the single "De Unde Vii la Ora Asta?", which achieved one million views on YouTube on the first day after its release, and almost 50 million to date. "Mr. Smiley", a funk song in which Smiley sings the refrain of his life, "Să-mi Fie Vară", "Rara" and "O Altă Ea", "Ce Mă Fac Cu Tine De Azi?", featuring Guess Who, Pierdut Printre Femei, "Waltz" and "O poveste" completed the list of songs released in the ten months of the #Smiley10 project, a multimedia musical confession, a marathon of releases and innovations that stretched over the course of a year and culminated in an album release, the fourth of the artist's solo career, "Confesiune".[6] [7] [8]
