Richard Green Delivers an Enthralling Indie Pop and Instrumental Anthem that Resonates with the Soul
There is an inherent power within the realm of Indie Pop and Instrumental music, one that is vividly captured by UK-based virtuoso Richard Green on his latest single, “Smiles.” Green’s track is not just a melodic ensemble; it’s a vessel of emotional conveyance. His work exhibits an extraordinary balance between the energetic rhythms of Power Pop and the reflective tones of Art Rock.
As a music curator for PopHits.Co, I find in “Smiles” a perfect symphony where the Funk-infused bass lines and Groove-centric beats coalesce to form a timeless piece that could easily align with the works of powerhouses like Red Hot Chili Peppers.
With a band featuring an Italian drummer with the finesse of a seasoned maestro and a British bassist’s raw edge, “Smiles” is imbued with a potpourri of cultural essences.

“Smiles” transports you from London streets to Italian studios, displaying an international collaboration that feels both expansive and deeply personal. The result is a track that not only is perfect Holiday Music but also an ideal companion for times when you need an uplifting Workout tune or an Instrumental track to Relax after a long day.
Green’s dedication to capturing a narrative of resurgence through “Smiles” is compelling. Electronic music may dominate the charts, but sincerity and the human touch present in this Indie Melodic pop-rock track are irreplaceable.

Like the legendary Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the bass in “Smiles” is intricate yet profound, recorded in the UK, while the rest of the instruments breathe life into the song at Studio Elfo, Italy.
The masterful mix and production endorse the authenticity that Green aims to project — the revival of UK Culture in music through a personal tale of overcoming isolation and embracing joy.
Richard Green himself harbours a unique way of praising his band members, specifically highlighting the drummer’s brilliance during the guitar solo towards the end, “the way he slows down to start the out is seriously brilliant and not many musicians are able to ‘find’ certain ideas.”
This appreciation of musicianship resonates within “Smiles,” making the song a living testimony to collaboration and artisanal music-making.
As a curator who constantly seeks quality in music, Green exceeds all expectations with an instrumental prowess that echoes not just through the UK but across the Indie Pop scene.
