The release of Aaron Smith’s debut single ‘Unspoken’, created a groundswell of industry interest from the likes of Music Business Worldwide and Music Ally. In just two months he’s already clocked over 6.5 million streams, been featured on BBC Radio 1’s ‘Best New Pop Songs’ for August 2019 and in numerous Spotify and Apple Music playlists including ‘The Most Beautiful Songs in The World’, ‘The A-List: New Artists’, ‘Pop Right Now’ and ‘Future Hit, and been tipped by many including The Scotsman, The Independent and HMV as the latter’s their Next Big Thing.
Aaron Smith’s music sounds so bucolic, so natural, that it encourages you to think of something beautiful, almost pastoral. The reality, though, is a little harsher. The songwriter’s journey, his experiences of both love and trauma, fuel an incredible debut EP ‘Loveless’.
Picking up the guitar following a bout of friendly competition with his cousin, Aaron became infatuated with music; later, he discovered a makeshift studio in a dusty corner of his school’s music department, and began sketching out songs – simple, at first, but then more complex, more confident.
His debut EP is the work of a bold, singular voice, one that wants to speak truths but also find as wide an audience as possible – it recalls Bon Iver but also Keane; it harbours the pensive approach of Ry X, but also the sheer will to communicate of Coldplay’s Chris Martin. Recorded at studios across London and whittled down from more than 70 tracks, it’s a brave and extremely humane selection of songs. “It’s a good introduction for showcasing me as an artist. It describes me as a person,” he comments. “It’s quite personal. And I’m really, really happy with it”.
‘Loveless EP’ is out September 20th
