British singer-songwriter Myles Smith has released his new EP, “A Minute, A Moment…”, following an 18-month journey from grassroots acclaim to international recognition. The six-track collection, written and recorded over the past year, is a poignant snapshot of a transformative period in his life. The EP delves deep into themes of identity, love, heartbreak, and self-discovery, showcasing Myles’s raw and introspective nature. The EP has been a labor of love, time, care, and everything he had to give, as Myles recently said of the EP in an Instagram post.
His signature blend of soulful vocals, acoustic textures, and heartfelt lyricism remains front and center, but there’s a new depth and maturity to his songwriting that signals an exciting new chapter in his artistic evolution. Marking a clear departure from his earlier EP “A Minute…”, which introduced his sound with youthful optimism and simplicity, this latest project embraces a more nuanced emotional landscape and refined sonic palette.
2024 was a landmark year for Myles. From winning the BRITs’ Rising Star award to being named BBC Introducing Artist of the Year and landing a spot on the BBC Sound of 2024 longlist, his rise has been nothing short of meteoric. His breakthrough single, “Stargazing,” became the biggest global hit of the year by a UK artist, spending 29 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and amassing over 730 million global Spotify streams. With over 2 billion streams across his catalogue, “Stargazing” has cemented itself as a modern classic, topping airplay charts across the US, UK, Germany, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland.
His moment at the 2025 BRIT Awards also made headlines for more than just the award and his stand-out performance. His powerful acceptance speech called on the government to do more to support the arts and ensure future generations have access to creative opportunities, echoing the very message of resilience and advocacy found in his music. Myles also lent his voice to Ed Sheeran’s recent grassroots campaign focused on music education and the survival of grassroots venues in the UK, adding his name to Ed’s open letter to policymakers. Behind the scenes, Myles himself is actively developing his own initiatives aimed at supporting young creatives, with more to be revealed in due course.
His previously released EP ‘A Minute…’ further solidified his status and features his hit single “Nice To Meet You.” In 2024, he played sold-out shows across the globe and appeared on major platforms including the TODAY Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Later… with Jools Holland. Looking ahead, Myles is currently in the midst of his world live tour, ahead of joining Ed Sheeran on the European leg of the Mathematics Tour.
Hailing from Luton, Myles’ journey is rooted in authenticity. Taught to play guitar and piano by age 12, he cut his teeth performing in local pubs and open-mic nights before gaining momentum in 2020. His viral covers of “Sweater Weather” and “I Found” opened the door to original tracks like “Solo” and “My Home,” leading to his signing with Sony’s RCA label in 2023.
Myles Smith’s ability to connect through heartfelt storytelling and melodic sincerity has made him one of the UK’s most compelling new voices, and his trajectory shows no signs of slowing down.
