Tom Speight Releases New Song “Buzzing”
London-based singer-songwriter Tom Speight will release his upcoming fourth studio album “Perfect Strangers” on September 26, 2025 via Nettwerk.
From the album, he released the fifth single “Buzzing” on August 22, 2025.
The song received its first play during BBC Radio 2 OJ Borg.
The track is one of the first songs written for the album and celebrates human connection, spontaneity, and the uplifting spirit of simply having a good time, with a nostalgic nod to the analogue days of music-making.
It was written by Gale Paridjanian, Oliver Howard Knights, and Tom Speight. Produced by Will Purton and Tom Speight.
Tom Speight said of the song, “I wanted to capture the energy of me and the band simply having fun together in a room. The track has a raw, organic feel, almost like a throwback to the way records used to be made... when musicians would play together live in the same space. My goal was to create an album that feels almost anti-digital, where you can truly hear the power of human performance in all its imperfect yet perfect glory. 'Buzzing' is all about embracing good vibes and having a great time!”- The new album comprises 10 tracks, produced by Will Purton and Tom Speight. The record features Lydia Clowes, Charlotte OC, The Mayries, and P.P. Arnold, alongside members of renowned UK acts Feeder, Turin Brakes, Snow Patrol, and Embrace.
Tom Speight said of the album, “With Perfect Strangers, I explore my love for folk, timeless songwriting, and the 1960s and '70s sound, reimagined with a modern twist... Even though we may have started as strangers, I hope these songs resonate with you on a deeper level. That's all I've ever wanted to do with my music: create a soundtrack for someone's day in a meaningful way.”
He added, “I wanted to create an album that felt truly human-one that stood as a reaction to AI and the online world. I longed to return to the essence of music: playing live in a room with musicians, capturing those imperfect moments that, to me, define a great record.” - source : BBC Radio 2
