An honest and emotive middle-finger to toxic relationships and selfish people, “Done” evokes strong emotions while promoting resilience and ultimately moving on.
Sam’s professional career as a singer-songwriter began in 2017 after he landed on BBC’s ‘Hot Picks’ of the year. He went on to perform in multiple renowned venues across south-east England, such as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, the Half Moon and Spice of Life in London. LEFUTUREWAVE said “Lyrically, Sam delivers. Every sentence has depth” and I couldn’t agree more.
“Done” has a laid-back charisma that makes it incredibly enticing as a piece of music. Its independent energy marred with its gorgeous instrumentation leaves you begging for more, long after the track has ended. The sass and resilience really add a powerful emotion to its message of being the bigger person and moving on.
Recorded in a studio near Farnborough with music producer and writer Ed Stokes, “Done” found its roots over a year ago. Accompanied by Allan Penford on bass and Ted Hayes on piano/keys, the song was inspired by a lot of neo-soul, particularly artists like D’Angelo. A way to avoid bottling up his feelings, “Done” became an anthem for everyone breaking free from toxic people.
A brilliant quote from Sam describes the key to his music’s charm perfectly:
“We’re too busy getting caught up in producing content, writing music and trying to make it, and a lot of life passes us by. The irony is that music reflects our real lives, so what kind of music are we writing if we’re not really living?”
