‘It’s Time To Let The Wolves Out’ enters the room with strut and swagger, all souled-out and funked up with righteous backing vocals set against the backdrop of a hugely contagious melody. It’s a fitting opener to an album filled with those rare things – intelligent pop songs, 10 of them all up.

His sufficient stockpile of issues, predicaments and complications have been discharged through his latest batch of songwriting, coming up with a record named:
‘It’s Time To Let The Wolves Out’.
From the opening title track, Smith invites you inside his home. It’s warm (and often stinky) in there and there’s a sense of intimacy and a hint of the man who creates in his home studio, behind his house where he autonomously worked on these10 maudlin yet jaunty new songs.
Smith is an independent artist in the literal. He’s the man in the driver’s seat, from composition to production and with help from producer Fraser Montgomery on mixing duties this time around, he delivers a record of substantial listening quality.
With an unrestrained desire for spitting out his tales of ordinary life while ruminating on thought-provoking subject matter, ‘It’s Time To Let The Wolves Out’ revolves heavily around the idea of relationships.
He dances provocatively with his own issues throughout this record, breathes life into these troubles and woes and then punches them square in the face, revealing his ability to evoke emotion in the listener while the music itself unravels, layer after layer, melody after melody.
