‘Fashion’ marks the beginning of a new era; Tom A. Smith‘s signing to Fiction Records, the label that homes The Cure, The Maccabees and The Mysterines to name a few. ‘Fashion’ is a bold move, a strong alternative rock release that hooks from the get-go!
Driven by a heavy, churning riff that grabs you instantly, ‘Fashion’ wastes no time in asserting its presence. Smith’s vocal delivery is commanding yet full of character, cutting through layers of distorted guitars with a clarity that gives the chorus an anthemic punch. The production leans into a raw but polished energy, balancing grit with accessibility, an ideal combination for a single that’s both radio-ready and arena-worthy.
Lyrically, ‘Fashion’ is tongue-in-cheek, playfully skewering image and posturing while celebrating the catharsis of big, loud rock music. This new release signals Tom A. Smith’s ambitions while showing exactly why Fiction Records snapped him up. With riffs this strong and choruses this towering, ‘Fashion’ feels built to last.
