Myles Smith just revealed something about his next move on SNL UK

by

Both the American and British versions of Saturday Night Live featured a similar type of musical performer this weekend, which is quite rare. This is unusual because musical tastes generally differ between the two countries.

Noah Kahan performed the music while Matt Damon hosted the event in the United States. Across the pond in the UK, Hannah Waddingham was the host, and Myles Smith provided the musical accompaniment. Just like Noah Kahan, Myles Smith was a standout performer.

Smith’s debut album, My Mess, My Heart, My Life, is scheduled for release on June 19th. Interestingly, during a recent performance, he chose to play his 2024 hit song “Stargazing” – which was a top 20 success in both the US and the UK – instead of focusing solely on promoting his new material.

He also played “Hold Me in the Dark,” which is the first single from his latest album. His performance of it on SNL UK was so good, you’ll definitely want to give the whole album a listen.

“Stargazing”

If you’re not familiar with this song, it has a sound that blends the styles of Mumford & Sons and Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats. It’s a really pleasant mix of folk and soul that’s sure to lift your spirits.

Honestly, I just want to hear this song over and over so I can sing along! Or at least clap my hands. The harmonies are a little dark, which is a cool contrast, but that chorus is absolutely amazing. It’s such a feel-good song – totally safe and just makes you happy, like it’s on repeat in the best way.

“Hold Me in the Dark”

This song is enjoyable and begins with a similar feel to Kygo’s “Stargazing,” but it really shines when the chorus hits – Myles Smith clearly knows how to write a great one. It also has a pleasant, early Dave Matthews Band sound. The only downside is that it doesn’t sound drastically different from Smith’s previous song on the show.

Both pieces feature similar vocalizations and include a musical interlude around the same point. While a full album of songs like these would be enjoyable initially, it could quickly become repetitive and unremarkable.

The song is perfectly fine, but listeners might wish the album My Mess, My Heart, My Life – with its fifteen songs – offered a bit more depth and complexity.
