Samm Henshaw (@sammhenshaw) makes his return with the new single “Get Back” and the announcement of a vinyl-only release for his upcoming album, “It Could Be Worse,” landing on the 21st of November. True to form, Samm resists convention, reviving a sense of rarity for music lovers by taking this body of work fully offline and insisting it be heard in the real world first.
Samm Henshaw – “Get Back” (Visualizer)
Produced by Josh Grant, “Get Back” floats on ethereal keys that weave through a shuffling bass-and-drum groove. Samm’s vocal simmers as he asks, “How do we get back?”, before the song cools into the glowing embers of a ’70s-style synth solo. “You’re looking back at a time that you had maybe taken for granted, and you want to get back to that place,” Samm reflects.
Last week, Samm shared a trailer filmed against a sweeping natural backdrop, in which he speaks about the new project, the ache of loss, and what sits on the far side of heartbreak, all while letting his dry humor peek through, in both the album’s title and his candid delivery. Privacy matters to Samm. So does the quiet push-and-pull of being a modern artist. With this release, he leans harder into simply living life on his own terms.
Samm Henshaw – “It Could Be Worse”
Raised in South London, Samm Henshaw first introduced himself in 2015 with “Only Wanna Be With You.” Three years later, he gained global traction with “How Does It Feel?” and “Broke,” gathering over 60 million Spotify streams. 2022 saw him drop “Untidy Soul,” powered by the fan favorite “Grow.”
Samm has incited applause on both sides of the Pond from notable media outlets. Earning the respect of his peers, he notably collaborated with everyone from Pharrell, Tori Kelly, EARTHGANG, Tobe Nwigwe, and Jacob Banks to Kota the Friend, Hulvey, and Adi Oasis. Not to mention, he shone as the rare dynamo who could hold his own on tour with either Chance the Rapper or James Bay and Allen Stone. Samm has also worked with Quincy Jones and Steven McQueen on Soundtrack Of America, amassed over 150M views on YouTube, and appeared in the critically acclaimed drama Godfather Of Harlem.
The stage is where he is most alive, and next week he’ll be sharing an exciting new announcement. With standout appearances at the Newport Jazz & Folk Festival and Blue Note New York, Samm Henshaw has gone on to sell out venues across Europe, the U.S., and Asia. Fueled by infectious energy and a singular creative voice, he continues to carve out his own lane as one of the boldest innovators in UK music today.
