Tom A. Smith recently released a new single called “Fading Away,” which is a perfect illustration of his growth as an indie pop-rock artist. This one clearly represents not only Tom’s strong, deep voice but also demonstrates his skill for creating catchy tunes that stay in your mind long after the song has ended. The production, led by Hugo White’s expertise, presents a highly polished and professional touch to the song.
What makes “Fading Away” different from others is how it was created. Tom did things differently when writing this particular song than he had before, and out of it came one of his best songs yet; he wrote and demoed it all in under 5 hours. It seems like he always wanted to record some cosmic rock tune or old school pop number, and that’s exactly what he did with this track. And these words have two meanings so profound that they make listening to them enjoyable and thoughtful.
Even as a Sunderland teenager, Tom A. Smith begins to assert himself within the music industry but ‘Fading Away’ establishes him more firmly than anything else on this song can do. With “Fading Away”, Tom may be at the beginning of an amazing journey if it seems like his future is bright enough for something else to be done about him in terms of music career enhancement
