With a remarkable sense of momentum, Waiting for Smith continues to captivate as he releases his latest single, “White Light Of Love.” The cherished indie-folk creation is a direct result of the artist’s profound transformative experience during a four-month sabbatical in South Africa. Led by the exceptionally talented singer-songwriter Harry Lloyd and skillfully shaped by the creative expertise of producer Danton Supple, “White Light of Love” seamlessly aligns with the captivating and emotive style that defines all of Waiting for Smith’s compositions.
In a serendipitous turn of events, “White Light of Love” found its way to Waiting For Smith just as he was preparing to embark on a much-needed break to the vibrant landscapes of South Africa. The prospect of such an extended period away from his usual routine was simultaneously thrilling and daunting. Having been guided by the mantra of “keep working hard, don’t stop, stick to the plan” until then, the uncharted territory of “nothing” presented both an opportunity and a challenge.
Feeling the need to set a purposeful intention for this time of exploration and self-discovery, Waiting For Smith channelled his thoughts and emotions into the creation of “White Light of Love.” The song became a guiding light, a tool to keep him aligned with his aspirations even in the midst of uncertainty. Today, he extends a heartfelt invitation, urging listeners to embark on a shared journey.
“I’ll bathe myself in the ‘White Light of Love’ and protection. This was the start of finding my enjoyment back for music and discovering that every day could hold lightness. I’d play ‘White Light Of Love’ to myself most days when I felt lost , and was worried about taking such a long break from music. It became my mantra to joy,” Harry Lloyd reflects.
“White Light of Love“ is more than just a song; it’s a testament to the power of music to illuminate the human experience and provide solace during times of change. The artist’s journey is an inspiring reminder that embracing the unknown can lead to profound personal growth and creative renaissance.
