Shannon Smith weaves a tapestry of regret, truth, and undying affection with new single, ‘Valentine’s Day’ out now!

Shannon Smith's "Valentine’s Day" is not just a song; it's a journey through the perilous yet ultimately redeeming path of love. Against the backdrop of a houseboat in Augusta, Smith penned a confessional ode to his partner, Helen Townsend, weaving a tapestry of regret, truth, and undying affection.

The single, infused with the Americana spirit, blooms with the gospel-tinged harmonies of the McCrary Sisters, whose accolades include backing for the "Elvis" movie soundtrack and Grammy nods, lending a rich, soulful layer to the track. The song's narrative arc—a lover's plea for forgiveness—is universal, yet Smith's raw delivery roots it deeply in personal soil.

The musical arrangement, a delicate interplay of Baby Grand Piano, Hammond organ, and the mournful wail of the pedal steel guitar, creates a soundscape that is sparse yet expansive, mirroring the vast emotional landscape Smith traverses. As the song builds, so does the intensity of Smith's plea, culminating in a climax that is as cathartic as it is heartfelt.

What sets "Valentine’s Day" apart is its authenticity. In an era where music often feels manufactured, Smith delivers a piece that is painstakingly crafted and emotionally charged. It's a ballad for those who have faced the darkness in love and dared to light a candle rather than curse the night.

“Valentine’s Day” is available on all streaming platforms 6th February 2024.
