Martin Smith
... first burst onto the music scene with his band Cutting Edge in 1992. Predominantly focused on writing and performing Christian worship music, the band had significant success both in the UK and internationally. A few years later and following a serious road accident which left him hospitalised for several weeks, Smith made the decision to become a full-time musician and the band Delirious? was born.
Over the next decade Delirious? became one of the world’s most successful Christian pop-rock bands, with sell-out shows across the UK. Unsurprisingly, their music crossed over to the mainstream UK charts with support from BBC Radio One and appearances on TV shows such as The Big Breakfast. The band went on to support Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams on tour and eventually split in 2009.
In 2019 Martin released a new solo album, Iron Lung to critical acclaim. Describing it as a “celebration of life, love, and faith" the album was a deeply personal reflection on his own life, a break away from the more conventional praise and worship sound that he is known for with elements of alt rock and pop embedded at its core.
Debut single Dancing in the Fire has had support from BBC Radio Two, and has already clocked up over 20,000 streams on Spotify. Hot on it’s heels is second release Trouble, a collaboration between Martin and The Kingdom Choir, known more recently for playing at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Trouble
Trouble das ist eine Welle, eventuell schon ein Meer der Emotionen. Desorientierung, Ängste und Sorgen als Thema, aber auch der Weg der Befreiung, gleichsam der Kampf gegen diese negativen Einflüsse. Ganz im Stile und so wie man ihn kennt liefert Martin Smith mit seinem neuen Song hymnisches, Alles geht in Richtung Euphorie, unterstütz wird diese Begeisterung, beinahe idealisierte Faszination, natürlich durch die Lyrics selbst, wie auch Martins hervorragend in Szene gesetzten Vocalparts, durch die tatkräftige bzw. "sangeskräftige" Unterstützung des "Kingdom Choir". Durch dessen Einsatz das Ganze seine Schlichtheit verliert und nochmals empor steigt. Trouble von Martin Smith das ist entfachter Enthusiasmus, ein loderndes Feuer an Emotionen, wo man der Passion entflieht um im Hafen der Romantik anzukommen.
