PREVIEWED BY ANTHEMIC NEW SINGLE ‘NINETEEN’, OUT TODAY
Following on from the soaring successof his recentsingle ‘Changes’, which landed in Spotify editorial playlists such as ‘Pop Brandneu’, ‘Easy’, ‘Pop Relax’ and ‘New Pop UK’, was played on Apple Music’s Radio Show ‘New Music Daily Deutschland mit Aisha’, and highlighted in Billboard’s 10 Cool Pop Songs feature, British singer and songwriter Sam Johnsontoday announces the forthcoming release of his brand new EP ‘Are We There Yet?’out the 15th January 2021, through Universal Germany. He continues to build momentum for the EP release with his stunning new single ‘Nineteen’ out today (November 20th).
Continuing the bold and thunderous sound that has become a theme of his latest offerings, ‘Nineteen’ sees the artist combine warm and wistful aesthetics with a truly anthemic production. Channelling his humble roots as a gifted acoustic singer-songwriter, the track quickly shifts gears and delivers a bright and euphoric texture that embodies the multifaceted feel that Sam Johnson has injected into all of his material to date.
Speaking about his new single, he said, “This one is a little more direct than the others. No hidden meaning here. It’s a very literal and biographical throwback to my fairly hedonistic last few years of school. My friends and I seemed far more focused on smoking high grade than we did on getting high grades and it certainly showed in our A level results. Still, they were some of the best days of my life, and this is a regret free ode to them. Interestingly though, I was born in 1995, and certainly not taking my final exams that year. The opening line ‘flash back to ninety-five’ can therefore be seen as a rare example on the EP where I gave myself artistic license to not be entirely honest, but instead allow some ambiguity because I liked the way the line sounded.”
