$u$pect ft. Fbe GeeBahby – Smirkish Pt 2: The New Pop Single Review

$u$pect & Fbe GeeBahby Just Doubled Down with “Smirkish Pt 2”

Let’s be real—sequels are risky. Usually, the second installment of a track feels like a leftover scrap from the original session. But $u$pect and Fbe GeeBahby clearly didn’t get that memo. With the release of “Smirkish Pt 2” they’ve managed to capture the energy of the first track while making the whole vibe feel bigger, faster, and a lot more confident.

If you liked the first one, you’re going to be obsessed with this. If you haven’t heard either? Now is the time to catch up.

More Than Just a Remix

This isn’t just a “Part 2” in name; it’s an evolution. Where the original “Smirkish” introduced us to that signature blend of pop-hook catchiness and hip-hop edge, Pt 2 feels like the artists are finally comfortable in that pocket.

• The Flow: $u$pect stays remarkably smooth here, sliding over the beat with a cadence that feels effortless.

• The Feature: Fbe GeeBahby shows up and actually contributes to the energy rather than just filling space. The back-and-forth dynamic gives the song a live, organic feel that’s missing from a lot of bedroom-pop releases lately.

• The Beat: It’s punchy. It’s got that specific kind of low-end that makes you want to turn the volume up just a few notches past “safe” in the car.

What Does “Smirkish” Actually Mean?

It’s that look you give when you know something nobody else does. The song carries that exact attitude—it’s playful, slightly cocky, and entirely self-aware. It’s the soundtrack for those moments when you’re feeling yourself, whether you’re heading out for the night or just getting through a workout.

The Verdict

$u$pect is proving to be one of those rare artists who knows how to bridge the gap between “indie cool” and “mainstream catchy.” By teaming up with Fbe GeeBahby, they’ve created a summer-ready anthem that’s going to be stuck in your head for the foreseeable future.

Stream “Smirkish Pt 2” now on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you get your fix.
