Moving on to "Easter," Smith continues to push boundaries with tracks like the electrifying "Because the Night," a collaboration with Bruce Springsteen that solidified her status as a rock goddess. The album seamlessly blends punk, rock, and poetry, creating a sonic landscape that is both fierce and tender.

Smith's punk spirit is on full display in "Wave," with tracks like "Frederick" and "Dancing Barefoot" showcasing her raw talent and magnetic presence. The album is a testament to Smith's ability to defy genre and create music that is truly timeless.

About the artist

Patti Smith

Patti Smith, the legendary rocker known for her revolutionary spirit and poetic lyrics, has been shaking up the music scene for over four decades. With her unique blend of punk, poetry, and rock 'n' roll, Smith has cemented her place as one of the most influential artists in the industry. Born in Chicago in 1946, Smith moved to New York City in the early 1970s and quickly became a fixture in the downtown music scene. With her band The Patti Smith Group, she released her debut album "Horses" in 1975, which is still regarded as a classic today. With songs like "Gloria" and "Land of a Thousand Dances," Smith's raw, unapologetic energy captivated audiences and critics alike. But Smith is not just a musician—she is also an accomplished poet, writer, and visual artist. Her memoir "Just Kids," which chronicles her relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, won the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2010. And her photography and visual art have been exhibited in galleries around the world. Despite her many accolades and accomplishments, Smith remains humble and down-to-earth. She continues to perform live, enchanting audiences with her powerful vocals and electric stage presence. With her trademark mix of punk attitude and poetic sensibility, Patti Smith is a true icon of the music world and a force to be reckoned with.
