Check Out the Visuals for Diego Philips’ “Smile” – An Ode to Love

Belgium bred indie rocker Diego Philips has shared “Smile”, a track off his sophomore album Tides, which was released last month. “Smile” is a beautifully lilting, finger-picked, deeply atmospheric song that he describes as a “those light and easy feelings that overwhelm you.”

Drawing on personal experience and growth, “‘Smile’ is about the first feelings of love after meeting someone new”, Diego explains. The track is full of hazy guitar rhythms and smooth vocal melodies as Diego incorporates his flagship blend of indie, funk, blues, and psychedelia.

Growing up in a family where creativity was often rejected, Diego was forced to find his own way in the artistic world. After studying in Brussels, the young artist decided to move to London and pursue a more established creative avenue. Completing a music performance degree at the BIMM Institute, Diego met his five bandmates in the cultured space and was finally able to nourish his musical ability.

It’s safe to say that anyone discovering Tides will be met by music that sounds as if it arrived in a dream…
