Fast-rising Amsterdam-based British singer-songwriter Waiting for Smith (Harry Lloyd) returns with optimism in his new single, “I Like Life.” A sparkling, genre-bending anthem, the song celebrates life, one that arrives just when we need it to urge us to slow down and savor life’s simple pleasures.
“I Like Life,” written by Hardress Lloyd, Ramon de Wilde, and Narayan, who also produced it. It is an irresistible blast of energy that is a quick pickup for the spirit. The song will also appear on his forthcoming EP, the latest reminder that it is at the center of another creative era for him.
“I Like Life” was born of reluctance. Four years ago, Lloyd almost missed a writing session in Amsterdam because he was uninspired. But sometimes, the best things come to us when we least expect them. That ethereal enthusiasm is present throughout the entire track, and it just makes every note sprinkled across the beat feel joyous. Far from a catchy tune, “I Like Life” conveys a message that transcends generations.
The forthcoming EP brings visions of past and present, and an ancient wisdom illuminates the path, reminding all to relish the moment. Whether wisdom from ancient texts or insights from modern mindfulness, the song taps into something timeless.
More than a song, with its vibrant instrumentation, infectious melodies, and an undeniable sense of warmth, “I Like Life” is a feeling. A reminder to breathe, dance, and enjoy the ride. If this single indicates the direction of things to come, Waiting for Smith’s new EP will be on the must-listen-to list of anybody searching for a getaway wrapped in total positivity.
