Sam & Sounds – Silly
At the age of 17, Samuel Gemmell decided to pursue music with all he had. He started busking in 2019, earning enough money to be able to quit his job. Busking not only trained his voice, it also generate a small following, which is now expanding quickly. His career really took off in 2020 (in the middle of the pandemic), when he released no less than six self-penned singles as Sam & Sounds.
Now a 19-year-old, Silly is his first track of 2021. It’s another feelgood indie-pop gem, energetic and infectious to the max. For fans of bands like Satellite Stories, Two Door Cinema Club and Hippo Campus.
“Releasing it in Lockdown 3, seems quite appropriate”, he says. ”Honestly, this is just my overly dramatic artistic way of telling my girlfriend that I miss her and love her. I’m a bit wet, but I own it!”
