https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__Y04qd7PPs&feature=youtu.be

This incredibly insightful wordsmith is easily one of the most well spoken and kind-hearted people in music. He has already caught our attention with his spoken word song for World Suicide Prevention Day, as well releasing a collaborative track for World Aids Day. His latest endeavour ‘Heart of Man’ sends a simple message; be the change you want to see in the world. We cannot drive out the hate and misery that plague the world by fighting back with more of the same, we need to all look within our hearts and only in bettering ourselves can we hope to make a better world. All proceeds from downloads and streams will be donated towards the work of the Preemptive Love Coalition. Looking back at the past year I feel we need more people like Joshua Luke Smith in the world, but perhaps all we need to do is to take his message to heart and take inspiration from his love and compassion.

Top Tracks: Joshua Luke Smith – Becoming Human

We have all suffered our fair share of slings and arrows in our lifetimes, whether inflicted by others, by the cruel hands of fate, or by our own making. In your day to day life you will pass countless people enduring unspoken struggles seemingly without respite. Joshua Luke Smith, one of the most profound and inspirational young wordsmiths of his generation, has released a powerful new track in partnership with Samaritans to raise awareness for World Suicide Prevention Day. His moving spoken word track ‘Being Human’ focuses on what we all have in common, rather than our petty differences. It spreads a message of strength through togetherness, of holding each other up and standing together come what may rather than dragging each other down. It teaches to love unrestrained and feel connected to those we make take for granted. Joshua’s passion, empathy and understanding make this the perfect track for such an important cause.

Top Tracks: Joshua Luke Smith – Carry Me

This young wordsmith carries a message that transcends borders and genres. A passionate poet, accomplished producer and philosophy graduate, Joshua has battled through adversity but has refused to let anything hold him back. His story is reflected in his latest single ‘Carry Me’, that no matter how hard things get there is always a way back home. That the people who care about you are the pillars that hold you up above the darkness, and we each have more strength within ourselves that we realise. With such striking lines as “I didn’t come to preach I came to release cages” Joshua has wisdom far beyond his years and his way with words has made him an increasingly inspirational voice. His music is moving and heartfelt and definitely something that the world needs more of.
