The Sir Elton John-tipped talent continues his run of form.
Well established as a unique and memorable voice in the UK music scene with a strong work ethic to match, Tom A. Smith is a young artist who feels like he could be on the verge of a breakthrough into more mainstream consciousness. The emerging artist has a raft of memorable releases and a thoughtful, unique style that sets him apart as someone special.
For proof of this you need look no further than his latest release ‘Man Overboard’, an energetic and unapologetic track that tackles themes like mental health and resilience in a way that feels earnest and honest. The track has a palpable sense of resolve and fight that feels infectious throughout, and continues to establish Tom as one of the UKs most distinctive and exciting singer-songwriters.
Adding about ‘Man Overboard’, “Man Overboard has without a doubt the best lyrics I’ve ever written. I struggled at the beginning of lockdown and it was songwriting and sending home recordings to my management that kept me focused. The first line summed up my mental health at the time (I put a brave face on it, I put on a front, but even the sharpest tools I have are feeling blunt). From start to finish I’m proud of the lyrics in that song”.
