Riley Smith "I'm on Fire”

Singer-songwriter-actor Riley Smith will release his long-awaited self-titled  EP July 21st. Produced by Kevin Leach, the five-song set is inspired by Smith's time in Nashville where he dove into classic country, exploring its history and roots. However, the longer Smith was there and the more musicians he collaborated with, his sound started developing into something dynamic and divergent. Smith’s writing process began to reference a wider variety of sounds and styles resulting in a body of music that's relatable, heartfelt, and diverse. "It's what I think makes the sound unique and kinda difficult to put in a box.....My influences are as diverse as the city” Smith has noted. 

Fans can get a taste of that  sound with Smith's first single from the project, "I'm On Fire." Co-written with Matthew Perryman Jones and Tim Lauer, the heartfelt mid-tempo tune features an irresistibly breezy melody alongside wistful lyrics that are sincerely conveyed by Smith's vocals, which intensely combine regret and desire.
