Sunderland talent Tom A. Smith delivers passionate and anthemic number “Fading Away,” led by powerful emotion and euphoric sonic textures in equal measures. Produced by Hugo White (The Maccabees), the track is ethereal and expansive as it comes alive with Smith’s love for space.
Rooted in a classic vibe and meaningful lyrics, the shimmering track is bolstered 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. Filmed at Blast Beach in Durham where some scenes from Alien 3 were filmed, the cinematic visuals add an extra layer of charm to the enticing soundscape.
Speaking of the track, Smith says, "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. 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 ".
Showcasing the heartfelt core of the artistry he has been honing over the years, this latest offering which follows the success of recent project EP3 as well as awhirlwind of live performances, is yet another milestone in his soaring musical journey.
