Worldwide known as the frontman of Editors, Tom Smith launched his solo career with the single "Lights of New York City," released on Play Again Sam on June 19th. The song also features a video directed and produced by Niall Trask.
"Lights of New York City" mourns lost youth, a song that looks back at the wide-eyed wonder of an earlier chapter in my life. says the British singer and guitarist, who with this single demonstrates his intention to take a very different path from the explosive energy of EBM, his last album with Editors, released in 2022. The song also features a collaboration with Irish singer-songwriter Iain Archer, who helped him realize his ideas for his first solo project after more than 20 years of creating music with Editors and a couple of albums with Andy Burrows, in the duo known as Smith & Burrows.
Elvis Costello, born in London as D.P. MacManus, is a singer-songwriter and musician with a career spanning over fifty years.

The author of over 600 songs, he has worked with international music giants such as Paul McCartney, Johnny Cash, and Diana Krall, writing both for himself and for other artists. His compositions have been covered by numerous musicians, confirming his influence on the music scene.
In addition to his recording career, which includes more than 35 albums, Costello has composed music for film, theater, and ballet, published an autobiography, and hosted music television programs. In recent years, he has continued to produce new works, maintaining a strong artistic presence.
