a classic songwriter steps into a new era

‘Emergency’ arrives with the spark of a flare shot into a grey sky, a first glimpse of Andy Smythe’s forthcoming album, ‘Quiet Revolution’. It is a single that opens like a warm doorway on a cold night, pulling you in with melodic storytelling and a quietly urgent heart.

Lewisham based Smythe has long lived at the crossroads of British folk, rock, and pop, and this track feels like a confident stride into that lineage. Electric guitars open it with a sense of urgency, the vocal harmonies work beautifully, and the production moves with an easy brightness that nods to The Beatles and Neil Young without ever slipping into imitation. His English baritone carries a grain of nostalgia, but very much feels still bursting with life. The performance is full of colour and craft, shaped by a songwriter who knows exactly where every note should land.

This new single sets the stage for ‘Quiet Revolution’, due in March next year, and it lands with a sense of rising momentum. It feels heartfelt, grounded and quietly triumphant, the kind of song that makes you pause, listen, and breathe a little deeper. It stays with you.
