Brit Beat: U.K. Singer-Songwriter Myles Smith Goes From ‘Stargazing’ to Global Star


Myles Smith's 'Stargazing' is taking the world by storm after breaking out as a U.K. hit. Also: David Dollimar's new label, and Darcus Beese's memoir.

Tang says the changing pop landscape, with recent hits from the likes of Noah Kahan and Benson Boone, has helped facilitate Smith’s rapid breakthrough, especially in America, where he is released via RCA’s U.S. arm. He is now working on his debut album with songwriters including Steph Jones, Amy Allen, Peter Fenn and Jesse Fink, but Tang and Aikins note his success is far from a one-off for RCA’s U.K. company. He hopes Disorder will serve as an umbrella for other label partnerships, the first of which is dance music imprint WHP Records, in conjunction with Richard McGinnis and Sam Kandel, founders of Manchester clubbing phenomenon The Warehouse Project.
