'Forget your name' is the charming debut track by native Cramlington lad Harry Smith. After supporting acts such as Raglans and playing at various venues including The Sage in Gateshead and Newcastle's THINK TANK, the young musician's demo is a promising step forward.
The track itself is very intimate, with Smith's lilting vocals only being accompanied by delicate yet peppy acoustic guitar. The lyrics convey a sincerity without conforming to a sugary sweet register, addressing the mentality of a break up, opposed to spieling on about self-pity. The line
'what's the point reading everyone's destructions down to the letter' is particularly poignant and resonates with a candid charm.
Smith's performances are elevated when accompanied by his tight-knit band and I can envisage this track becoming a powerful component of his set whilst enabling him to beguile vast audiences.
Overall a solid 4/5 stars for the singer-songwriter.
