I have decided to break my blog silence! Hellooooo. Hi.
How are you? It's been a while.
So basically, someone today told me they read my blog, and I felt a bit embarrassed, seeing as I like to think of myself as new music royalty (not really but, y'know), and the last post I wrote was like a bazillion years ago, so things needed to change...
So here we are! It also happens to be a blog-silence-breaking day, BECAUSE I got invited to Warner Bros Studios on Dean st, Soho, for Sam Way's 'listening party'.
I didn't do my research on what exactly a listening party was/is, but I soon found out that it meant we sat and listened to tunes in a dark cinema studio, this one aptly studded with star lights...
Rarely do you ever really get to sit down and just appreciate the music. Every single track of the EP (with a glass of champagne in hand) flowed over us, deep voice, layers of production, each song bringing its own emotion - in my notes I've written that I felt like I was making my movie with Sam's vocals lending the entire soundtrack #Perf.
Favourite track of the EP has to be the title track 'Architect', however there was something about the lyrics in 'Tiger Love', and 'Stargazer' which seem to stay with you, (right now I'm listening to 'Stargazer', for about the 6th time in a row.....!)
So no, ladies and gentlemen, he's not just a pretty face. But definitely has the whole package (yep, I've stalked his instagram...)
Sam has announced twelve dates across the UK planned for October 2015 with the lavellyyyy Anna Pancaldi in support (She was FAB at SGP this year!) for the release of his ‘Architect’ EP this November.
The single launch for ‘Stargazer’ will be on the 7th of October at the Old Church in Stoke Newington, Hackney.
Listen here:
Make sure to tune into my show this Friday 12:00 - 14:00 on MEATtransMISSION.com - I'll be giving his track 'Stargazer' a spin on my show as my Tip Of The Week, and who knows... we might have a special guest joining me in the studio....
Stay Tuned.
