The English singer has shared a new song, ‘Kiss me in the morning’, the first since her 2019 single ‘Be Honest’.
The song comes from new Netflix show The Eddy which comes from Damien Chazelle (director of La La Land). ‘Kiss me in the morning’ is a departure from Smiths usual RnB style seeing her take more from jazz influences. As this is just promotional material I’m sure that her style will return in her coming releases. Listen to it below;
Though we are in lockdown the singer isn’t taking it as an elongated holiday, she’s due to perform on a 24-hour live performance livestream alongside Tame Impala, Four Tet and JME along with others. The performance is scheduled to take place today.

Initially rising to prominence in 2016, her breakout debut album ‘Lost and Found’ peaked at number three in the charts. Off the back of this she has collaborated with artists such as Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Stormzy. These collaborations are a testament to the rising star.
Yet to announce a new album to follow up from her astronomical success with her first, fans of the singer will feel long overdue a release. It is coming up to almost two years to the date of her first album and all eyes are on Smith as it remains to be seen whether she will fall into the trap of a difficult second album as so many have before her.
Whether she will fall foul to the trap of a difficult second album or not, it is hard to deny the success Smith has found in the past two years. Going from quitting college and moving to London to pursue her dreams of being a singer at 18 to working with certified superstars such as Drake and Kendrick. This goes to show anybody that hard work and dedication comes above anything. Also, it helps if you can sing.
