The Authorship Story
Data Insight
Smith writes on all fifteen tracks and never alone, and the album is really a partnership with Peter Fenn, who co-writes eleven, produces fourteen and plays piano, guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin and programming across the record. That is closer to a band than a producer credit. The most unexpected names sit on “Dublin Lights”, where Ed Sheeran and Steve Mac hold writing credits without appearing on the track, and “Nice to Meet You”, which credits Donna Lewis of “I Love You Always Forever”.
