Following on from the release of his highly-acclaimed EP 'Skully' last year which attracted enormous praise from BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders and Huw Stephens, along with support from BBC Introducing, The Line of Best Fit, DIY and more, London-based artist Jack Mercer aka VC Pines is back to his smooth and soulful ways on the intoxicating new single 'Smoke Without Fire' produced by Jonathan Quarmby (Tom Walker/Lewis Capaldi) and mixed by Bad Sounds.

Channeling the same broad and enticing neo-soul sound he has been producing, 'Smoke Without Fire' makes for a wonderfully warm and vibrant return. Adding a funk and brass-filled production to his rich and luxurious vocals, his newest delight showcases his new EP 'Concrete,' which is set to arrive later this year.
