James Lloyd Smith finds solace in nature with gentle new single ‘Lake Walk’
Kent-based indie-folk artist James Lloyd Smith returns with a serene and heartfelt new single, ‘Lake Walk,’ out now on all major streaming platforms.
Drawing inspiration from the tranquil landscapes of the English countryside, ‘Lake Walk’ is a lo-fi ode to simple living and introspection. Influenced by Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and Sufjan Stevens, Smith captures the reflective calm he found during evening strolls around Hever Castle & Gardens in Edenbridge—moments that became the heart of the song’s emotional tone.
James explains:
“The Kent Countryside, sometimes known as The Garden Of England has had a huge influence on my sound. try to write music that to some degree reflects how the landscape makes me feel.”
‘Lake Walk’ is a quiet triumph in authenticity and mood and a poignant reminder of the grounding power of nature. Listen now.
