On October 10, 2010, Curaçao and Saint Martin took a step towards independence and the Dutch Antilles were officially dissolved, something that will certainly not have left Smiley, originating from Aruba, indifferent, but the man had other things to celebrate. The release of this debut EP for example. 'Lively Road' counts 7 tracks (and 2 video clips), including, of course, Smiley's modest hit on the Take A Train riddim, 'Distance'. The other songs on 'Lively Road' are of a similar level (definitely check 'Big Money Bag' and 'Miss Sassy') and 'Dem A Wonder', a duet with Junior Kelly is another smash. Ziggi you betta watch it!
