By the Numbers
Only one of the twelve tracks is Smith alone. Every other song lists a chain of writers behind it, and the album separates lyrics from music on most tracks, so the credits show clearly which guest sang and which sample carried the melody. Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim both write here, which they did not do on the first album.
In Waves arrived in September 2024 on Young, nine years after the first album. It runs 44:44 across twelve tracks and brings in Robyn, Honey Dijon, The Avalanches, Kelsey Lu, Panda Bear and both of his bandmates from The xx.
