Tom A. Smith - Fading Away

Photo credit: TAKENBYSTORM

Ahead of the weekend, Tom A. Smith has made his very welcomed return with his new single Fading Away. Produced by by Hugo White (The Maccabees), the track follows on from his recent third EP, 'EP3', which featured the singles Little Bits, Like You Do, and Weirdo which saw him continue striding towards perfection. And there's no stopping him on the trajectory as he enters his most confident state yet with charging guitar melodies and angsty vocals that combine in to an anthemic masterpiece. The new track also comes accompanied by a heart-warming video made up of footage of Tom shot over 10 years ago when he was the ripe old age of nine, having been inspired by watching Interstellar one too many times. Adding about the new track, he said, "I wrote this song in a completely different way than I usually do and everything just flowed so beautifully that the demo and everything was completed in under 5 hours. I love space and think the whole thing had a classic vibe. The double meaning of the lyrics and everything works really well for me. To get Hugo White to produce it was fate I think. I think he's a genius and it was such an enjoyable process. It stays really faithful to the original demo but as soon as he got his hands on it, it became massive". Take a listen/watch for yourselves below.
