“Waiting For Smith is the British singer-songwriter you were waiting for” – GQ Magazine
Following on from the rejuvenating release of “Small Things”, Waiting For Smith continues to ignite his spiritual journey with his latest captivating single, “Raised Up”, set to feature on his forthcoming album. Acting as a release that is set to unlock our true selves, “Raised Up” is a pause amidst the chaos of our lives.
Let’s face it, our everyday lives can sometimes be overridden with an overwhelming feeling that we can’t always shake off. Recognising the chaos of modern-day life, Waiting For Smith is encouraging his listeners to push aside the everyday distractions and worries for a moment of realignment. Pushing our egos and limitations to the side, “Raised Up” is a track that brings us together in a judgement free space. Set against a mellow acoustic production courtesy of Danton Supple (Coldplay, Elbow, Patti Smith), Waiting For Smith’s crisp vocals and captivating lyrics cut seamlessly through the percussive backdrop, sitting at the forefront of the track.
