Best known as the unmistakable voice behind Editors, Smith has launched a new chapter with his debut solo single Lights Of New York City, released via Play It Again Sam.
The reflective track blends stripped back acoustic warmth with Smith’s distinctive baritone, capturing a sense of nostalgia and longing for lost youth. Co written with acclaimed Irish songwriter Iain Archer, the song marks a more intimate direction for Smith after two decades fronting Editors and his work with Smith & Burrows.
Accompanied by a cinematic video directed by Niall Trask, Lights Of New York City offers a glimpse into a more personal side of Smith’s songwriting while retaining the emotional depth that fans of Editors know so well.
The upcoming den Atelier which quickly sold out show promises a rare chance to see Smith in a more stripped back setting, showcasing solo material alongside songs from across his career.
