Myles Smith Releases Reimagining of Track "Nice To Meet You" Featuring Lainey Wilson
Myles Smith, a rapidly rising star in the music industry, has released a new track titled "Nice To Meet You (feat. Lainey Wilson)" under Sony Music UK/RCA Records on February 14, 20255. This collaboration brings together Smith's soulful vocals with Wilson's distinctive country sound, creating a fresh twist on Smith's original folk-pop anthem.
"Nice To Meet You," which originally appeared on Smith's 2024 EP "A Minute...", explores themes of loneliness, serendipitous meetings, and the importance of seizing fleeting moments. The song masterfully captures the universal experience of feeling isolated within a crowded space, only to discover an unexpected connection. The track's emotional depth emerges through its storytelling, beginning with the poignant line "Lonely in this crowd, I sit alone," before unfolding into a tale of transformation through chance encounter.
Smith, born in Luton, England, has quickly made a name for himself in the music industry. His journey to stardom began when a TikTok snippet caught the attention of Eric Parker from Extended Play Group, leading to a partnership that propelled his online presence.
Smith's musical background is diverse, influenced by his British Jamaican heritage and the rich cultural tapestry of his hometown. Growing up, he was exposed to a wide range of genres, including reggae, R&B, and pop. He taught himself to play guitar and piano from a young age, performing at local open-mic nights by the age of 12.
The collaboration with Lainey Wilson, the reigning CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, adds a new dimension to "Nice To Meet You." Wilson expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, "Myles is such an exciting new star, and this song hit me hard on first listen. I'm so happy to have a new version with him". Smith reciprocated the sentiment, praising Wilson's distinctive voice and storytelling ability.
This release follows Smith's breakout hit "Stargazing," which has amassed over 900 million global streams and spent 36 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. "Stargazing" also earned a spot on Barack Obama's list of favorite songs of 2024.
Smith's rapid rise in the music industry is further evidenced by his recent accolades. He was named the 2024 BBC Introducing Artist of the Year and is nominated for three BRIT Awards: Best New Artist, Song of the Year for "Stargazing," and Pop Act.
As Smith continues to make waves in the industry, he is set to embark on his "We Were Never Strangers" world tour in 2025, kicking off with a sold-out show in Brooklyn, New York. This tour follows a successful 2024, which included performances at Glastonbury Festival and on prestigious shows like Later... with Jools Holland and The Today Show in the US.
