NEW ARTIST FINDS: SAM SURE

10/24/14

London-based singer-songwriter Sam Sure is here to make you swoon with his intoxicating falsetto vocals and stand out lyrics, as well as some seriously awesome electronic elements. His debut EP, Hunger, is now available via Black Butter Records and it's clear that this guy is destined for big things. Whether you're into electro-pop, dance, or pop music in general, you’ll find yourself falling hard for his dreamy sound.

 

SAM SURE - HUNGER 

Featuring dreamlike synths and a few samples here and there, the electronic elements on this track stole my attention right away. It’s a low-key love song about being completely obsessed with someone that we all can relate to (especially the beginning lyrics, “gonna call when I make it home/ So bored when I’m on my own”). Besides being a track that you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again, it’s the perfect introduction to Sam’s music as it showcases his gorgeously smooth vocals and his knack for songwriting. I’m completely smitten.

 

SAM SURE - HUNGER (JADED REMIX) 

Featured on the Hunger EP, the Jaded remix gives the track a deep house flavor and makes for an entirely different experience. The track slowly builds, with sped-up vocals and loads of bass that give the track an upbeat sense of urgency.

 

TCTC - YOU (FEAT. SAM SURE)

As of now, Sam pretty much only has “Hunger” and some remixes of the track available on his SoundCloud, but he has contributed his intoxicating vocals on TCTS’s track, “You.” Much like with “Hunger,” he shows off his skills as a lyricist who knows how to touch the hearts of ladies everywhere as he repeats the line “all I want is you.” As the track continues, the electronic elements slowly build and evolve, creating a blissfully relaxing listening experience.
