Bye Bye

Bye Bye

Richard Smyth – Saying It Like It Is
A Heartfelt Farewell Wrapped in Country Warmth

Uppsala-based country artist Richard Smyth returns with his emotionally grounded single “Bye Bye”, releasing on August 29, 2025 via Rexius Records. Blending contemporary country with singer-songwriter honesty, the track captures the raw moment of walking away from a relationship with only a photo and a memory in your pocket.

Built around a simple acoustic guitar and Richard’s gravel-warm vocals, “Bye Bye” paints a vivid picture of heartbreak, resilience, and the bittersweet clarity that follows love lost. Produced by Fredrik Nilsson and recorded with Victor Gardner, the song reflects Richard’s deep roots in authentic storytelling and unpretentious craftsmanship.

Following a growing presence in Sweden’s alt-country scene, Richard continues to define himself through timeless, emotionally sincere releases. With echoes of Zach BryanChris Stapleton, and Luke Combs, “Bye Bye” is a poignant soundtrack for early morning drives and late-night reflections.

The single will be available on all major streaming platforms from August 29, 2025.
