Sam Tompkins is a fast-rising singer-songwriter from London, England. Not too long ago, he released an appealing music video for his “(w)hole” single, produced by Laconic.
Sam Tompkins – “(w)hole” music video
“I think ‘(w)hole’ is sort of a realization of knowing that not every problem in the world can be fixed by one person. If there is meaning or purpose to this life, it has to come from being and working alongside one another.” – Sam Tompkins explained
The music video, set inside an elevator, was directed by award-winning TV/Film director, Josef Bates. A metaphorical deep dive into Sam’s mindscape, the video charts his journey from a state of disconnect from hope and the positive side of life, back to happiness. But, by the end, he finds an escape.
‘(w)hole’ contains a relatable narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and tuneful melodies. The emotionally charged tune possesses vibrant instrumentation flavored with a contemporary pop vibration. Furthermore, “(w)hole” showcases Sam Tompkins’s ability to intimately convey his own relatable experiences through candid, heartfelt lyrics. Plus, the song serves as a tasty appetizer to what listeners can expect to hear from Sam’s upcoming third EP, which follows his 2020 quarantine EP, “Isolation Diaries.”
