Last Friday, Sam released his latest single ‘Dead to me’, a powerful and freeing track which sees Sam release the frustrations of an unhealthy relationship. His raspy and gritty tones paired with his passionate lyrics bring to life a truly liberating single. Accompanying the track is a music video which Sam filmed whilst in Iceland and sees him in a beautifully remote location, expressing the freeing yet lonely realisations of losing someone through a break up. Watch the music video HERE..
The track comes from his highly anticipated debut album ‘hi, my name is insecure’, years in the making as Sam built his dream body of work, incorporating tracks which are already fan favourites alongside exciting new material. The album includes hit tracks ‘someone else’, ‘time will fly’, ‘see me’, ‘lose it all’, ‘phones in heaven’ and ‘numb’.
Just last month Sam supported Australian artist The Kid LAROI on his UK & European tour, which included a huge sold-out show at London’s Alexandra Palace. Since starting his musical journey at 16 years old busking on the streets of Brighton, Sam has gone on to sell out shows around the world and amass a dedicated and enraptured fanbase, cementing his reputation as one of the fastest rising British male artists. Being hailed by the likes of GQ as “one of the UK’s most exciting vocal talents of the moment”, CLASH’s “the man of the moment” and last year was nominated for Rolling Stone’s Rising Star Award. He’s cultivated an incredible online community for millions to share their love of music and has received praise from high profile artists including Drake, Fred again.., Justin Bieber, RAYE, Sam Smith and more.
