In 2020, during the darkest days of the pandemic, he also released his hope-filled rendition of “Smile,” along with its stunning companion video directed by Clark Jackson (Lana Del Ray, Lady Gaga, Miguel). “I wanted to create something optimistic and uplifting that acknowledged the current times that we are in and more importantly, that we will all get through this together and be stronger,” said Alpert. All three tracks appear on Catch The Wind.
