It's a body of work that may never have come together without the world taking a pause during the pandemic but is full of emotion trying to find optimism at times when it feels like it's hard to come across"
Talking about the lead single 'Best Years' Blacksmith continues, "The lead single 'Best Years' optimises this and talks about the importance of trying to overcome adversity in strange and confusing times and trying to find the light from a dark period, in turn putting that behind and focusing on making the next year the best possible."
