Jarrah F. Smith shares uplifting new single ‘The Clown’

Blue Mountains-born indie folk artist Jarrah F. Smith returns with ‘The Clown’, his fifth release of 2025 and perhaps his most personal to date. Rooted in a moment of frustration and emotional fatigue, the song evolves into a stirring reflection on fatherhood, purpose, and perseverance, a journey from melancholy to meaning.

With its raw honesty and acoustic warmth, ‘The Clown’ channels the spirit of artists like Noah Kahan, Jonah Kagen, and The Lumineers, blending indie folk intimacy with the hopeful drive of country-inflected songwriting. “This song was very healing for me,” Smith shares. “It started in a place of heaviness, but through writing, I found hope and a reminder that we can grow even in our lowest moments.”

As he continues to build momentum toward two planned EPs this year, ‘The Clown’ reaffirms Jarrah F. Smith’s place among Australia’s most promising new singer-songwriters.
