Speight's second album, Everything's Waiting For You, was released in September 2021. The album was co-produced by Rich Turvey, and themed on his gratitude for his life and job following periods in hospital.[8] The album was his second to top the UK Independent Album Breakers Chart, and peaked at number 41 on the UK Albums Chart.[3]
Speight released his third album, Love & Light, in August 2023. The album focussed on Speight's personal experiences and on living life to the fullest, and was preceded by two singles, 'The One' and 'Let Go'.[9][10] The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number 66.[3]
