Eliza Harrison Smith: On Writing Sad Songs That Sound Happy

I first found Eliza Harrison Smith on TikTok a while back— singing something that felt way too honest to scroll past. Her writing hit me immediately. Sharp. Introspective. Real.Since then, I’ve kept an eye on her journey, and this January she dropped her debut EP, The Way I’m Wired. It’s raw and catchy and full of the kind of songwriting that stays with you.In this first episode of First Spin, we talk about where these songs came from, what it takes to put something that personal into the world, and why being that vulnerable isn’t just brave—it’s essential to writing a great song.We also spin two tracks from the new EP:BackslideSupposed To Be Happy🎶 Listen to Eliza:SpotifyApple MusicInstagramThis one means a lot.
