SIX months on from the release of his debut EP ‘Loveless’ which has now amassed nearly 29 million streams, TTV 2020 Vision Artist Aaron Smith is back with his first new song of 2020, a stunning track called ‘Brother’.
In the short space of a year, Smith’s distinctive talents have not gone unnoticed – his astounding vocals and astonishingly stirring lyricism have thrust him in front of a global audience with the help of Spotify and Apple Music.
‘Brother’ is set to be another massive hit – one that sees him flesh out his usual stripped back piano ballad style with delicate harmonies, a sweeping string section and steady rhythms. Reminiscent of Colplay in its more pop-focused production style, it is Smith’s ability to penetrate to the core of a deeply sensitive subject such as addiction with such raw honesty and authenticity that proves so uniquely powerful.
He said of the song’s subject matter: “Brother is a song about addiction. It is based on a story that I had been told and felt I could relate parts of that story back to myself and some of the struggles myself and loved ones may have faced over the years. Addiction is a scary topic that can affect anyone in any walk of life, whether it is drugs, alcohol or anything else – it feels like a bit of a taboo subject but is something I feel strongly about and felt I wanted to address. It can consume peoples minds to the point of no return.”
