Myles Smith shares long-awaited debut album My Mess, My Heart, My Life.

Myles Smith releases his debut album ‘My Mess, My Heart, My Life.’, the most personal and ambitious project of his career to date.

The release arrives at a remarkable moment in Myles’ rise. Earlier this month he kicked off his biggest world tour to date, spanning North America, Europe and the UK, and this November will headline a sold-out show at London’s The O2 - a milestone that sees him sell out one of the UK’s most iconic venues before the release of his debut album.

Speaking about the album, Myles says:

“This album is the most personal thing I’ve ever made. It came from looking back at old therapy notes, memories and experiences that shaped who I am, and trying to make sense of them through music. Every song reflects a different part of that journey - family, love, loss, mental health and self-discovery. More than anything, ‘My Mess, My Heart, My Life.’ is about learning to accept your past, understanding yourself a little better, and finding hope in the fact that we’re all a work in progress.”
