Smitha has written all the songs on the EP, “It was a cathartic experience, writing about, grief, love, and pain” she adds. “Belong” is the name of her debut single, the release took on a wider meaning for Smitha after the referendum and because that she purposefully made the track music video showing the landscapes in London including two incredible dancers to represent its beautiful diversity.
