MALLY SMITH

Mally Smith is a singer-songwriter originally from Boston, now living in Edinburgh. Mally’s childhood love of melancholy ballads of the British Isles and the political songs of the American folk-revival fuel her thoughtful and beautifully honest songwriting. Reminiscent of Shawn Colvin, Aoife O’Donovan, and a young Joni Mitchell, Mally combines tasteful guitar and poetic lyrics with a clear voice that will capture your heart. Mally’s latest single “The Dark” is available now on all music services.

“Mally's writing has that spare elegance I associate with great traditional music – any extraneous note or word burned away by time and attention ... perfectly formed – lyrics that are both metaphorical and straightforward, weaving melodies that move with the deliberation of thoughtful paintbrush strokes, a restrained atmospheric production that leaves everything translucent and layered for the ear to soak in.” - Mark Simos, Professor of Songwriting at Berklee College of Music
