Brittan Smith gives audiences another listen into his world of Going Rogue with his newly released single, “Peach.” Produced by Yianni AP and Brittan Smith, “Peach” is a joyful melodious track that can be described as a love letter to one’s LGBTQ+ journey. With self-reflecting lyrics, “A serenity, I never knew, I found it when, I looked at you, We chased, all the devils away,” listeners can expect to dive deeper into Brittan’s mind and his own personal journey with the peace he found in coming out. “Peach” joins previously released single, “Fiend” and serves as the third single off Brittan’s upcoming EP, Going Rogue.
“I wrote this during lockdown Summer. I needed a light and fun song with a little bit of a sexy edge of course. Yes, I may have watched Call Me By Your Name. In truth, I didn’t like the movie the first time I watched it but this time it hit differently. I was working through a lot of childhood b.s. and I loved the coming of age essence. It was something I wish I had growing up in the midwest so I wrote Peach as an homage to the song I wish I had as a confused teenager. It’s about intimacy on all levels: Sensual, sexual and emotional. Us against the world, you’re a revelation,” Brittan Smith writes.
Emerging from the prairie lands of Kansas with an avant-garde, rockeresque – pop sound Brittan Smith, now a Los Angeles based musician, is crafting dramatic musical worlds bathed in neon. A vocalist from a young age, Brittan turned to his mother in the car one day while jamming out to Bon Jovi and said “I’m going to be a rockstar.” He has been on that artistic path ever since. With inspiration from artists such as Lady Gaga and Chester Bennington, Brittan Smith began to craft his sound while maintaining a message of embracing all the things that make you unique.
Growing up in the Midwest had its challenges – Brittan being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and someone who deeply struggled with depression and anxiety faced hardships like much of the youth of his generation did. With this, Brittan chose to fuel his art and focus on expressing the different ways music can be used to connect people. His first release “Tension” was in 2018 and since then he has continued to cement his sound while also delivering stunning visuals. His most recent releases – “Eyes On The Road” and “Cyborg” – have garnered over 35k streams collectively.
Brittan Smith is ready to amplify his message and filmmaking background with his forthcoming EP Going Rogue set for release later this year. He intends to introduce his audience to an entire alternate universe with interconnection between videos, song themes and future albums.
The EP Going Rogue is set for release later this year with singles “Fiend” and “Peach” available to stream on all DSPs. To keep up to date on everything Brittan Smith, follow the artist on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
