Releasing another carefully crafted piece of conscious work, Joshua Luke Smith shares his emotive single ‘Silence’. Unlike previous releases, ‘Silence’ see’s Smith peel back his signature skin of hard-hitting beats and textured production to unveil a raw, soulful offering.
‘Silence’ gently traces themes of loneliness and solace, with Joshua speaking from personal experience, as the track gradually unpicks the threads that stitch together the inner workings of this burgeoning artist.
“Contemporary rap and acoustic pop-soul, producing a world-weary, heartfelt, relatable brand of penmanship” – COMPLEX
Featuring fellow emerging artist and fast-rising name in the tastemaker world, Kyra, the single interweaves Joshua Luke Smith’s insightful lyricism with the depth and sincerity in Kyra’s soulful tones. The result is an impassioned piece driving self-reflection and self-resolution.
Speaking more in-depth about the meaning behind the track, Joshua explains;
“Silence was the song I didn’t want to write. It’s more of a confession than anything, an announcement of the inescapable aloneness that confronts me (and I think is all at one time or another). I’ve learnt the only way to find true solace is through silence, that until I face what is hidden most deeply within, healing and peace will remain unreachable. The words of the philosopher Blaise Pascal, ring out with such truth to me now…
“…our greatest problems come from our inability to be alone with ourselves”.
