Myles Smith is releasing his debut album this week — but didn’t he have one out already? Apparently not, it’s just a trick of the mind caused by Smith’s high-profile achievements over the past couple of years: winning a Brit Award and an Ivor Novello Award, supporting Ed Sheeran in stadiums and having songs such as Stargazing rack up two billion streams.
“It feels very backwards,” Smith admits. “I’ve toured the world a couple of times, I’ve been able to meet my heroes and have so many amazing memorable experiences, all before my debut album — it’s quite wild. But I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Having the time to put something together with intention has felt right.”
