Myles Smiths 2024 Singles Set Stage for Debut Album Release in June 2026

Myles Smith, the Luton‑born folk‑pop voice, has turned two 2024 releases into a springboard for his first full‑length record, slated for 19 June 2026. The singer‑songwriter’s chart‑making singles “Stargazing” and “Nice to Meet You” have already carved out a fan base that stretches from indie radio playlists to mainstream streaming playlists.

Early in the year, “Stargazing” slipped into the UK top 30, a notable achievement for a debut act. The track, described as anthemic, echoes the buoyant choruses of 2010s pop‑rock hits such as Walk The Moon’s “Shut Up and Dance.” Its hook—“look up at the same stars”—resonated with listeners and propelled the single to become the most‑played British track of 2024. A music video, released 18 August 2024, was directed by Peter Fenn and mixed by Michael Freeman.

The follow‑up, “Nice to Meet You,” dropped 8 November 2024 as the fourth single from the EP A Minute. The song blends country, folk and pop, featuring fiddle and acoustic guitar. A later version, re‑issued with country star Lainey Wilson, broadened the track’s appeal and increased its radio and streaming presence.

Smith’s debut album, My Mess, My Heart, My Life., will weave together the two singles with new material that digs deeper into personal history. The opening track, “My Mess,” opens with the stark line “I was born into a fractured family / Where a word can start a war,” and is supported by guitars and a mandolin. Other songs—“Grandma’s Place,” “Sertraline” (named after the antidepressant), and a duet with Niall Horan on “Drive Safe”—explore family dynamics, mental health, and the pursuit of authenticity.

Collaboration has been a hallmark of Smith’s recent work. He co‑wrote “Dublin Lights” with Ed Sheeran, incorporating traditional Irish uilleann pipes that recall Sheeran’s “Galway Girl.” Smith will open for Sheeran on the 2026 summer tour. Production on “Sertraline” was handled by Gabe Simon, who previously worked with Noah Kahan on Stick Season.

According to his Wikipedia entry, Smith was born 3 June 1998 and began his professional career in 2024. He is signed to RCA Records, which has promoted his singles and the forthcoming album. The album’s announcement came on 20 March 2026, with the release date confirmed for 19 June 2026.

Industry observers note that Smith’s blend of folk‑pop instrumentation with pop‑rock choruses places him squarely within the contemporary folk‑pop renaissance that includes artists such as Noah Kahan. His personal storytelling, coupled with high‑profile collaborations, has expanded his reach beyond the niche folk‑pop audience.

The 15‑track listing includes the two 2024 singles, several songs that delve into personal history, and tracks that showcase Smith’s musical versatility. The project will be available on major streaming platforms and in physical formats at the time of release.

In short, Myles Smith’s 2024 singles have established him as a rising star in the British folk‑pop scene. His debut album, My Mess, My Heart, My Life., set for 19 June 2026, will unite those hits with new material that explores family, mental health, and personal growth. The release will be accompanied by a summer tour opening for Ed Sheeran and a series of promotional appearances.
