Pop singer-songwriter Sam Fischer reveals his brand new, upbeat track ‘Afterglow’. Listen HERE.
Filled with bright vocal melodies and euphoric reverbs, ‘Afterglow’ is one of Sam’s most uplifting songs to date. Written after a period of writer’s block, the lyrics explore the theme of finding joy through clarity, and shaking off the worries in life that can often weigh people down: “Smiling like I caught up with god / And he told me not to worry at all.”
Speaking about the release, Sam says: “I wrote ‘Afterglow’ at a time when I felt totally burnt out on writing sessions, just creatively spent. It was a total Hail Mary song that started with me asking myself ‘what would Chris Martin do’, which I recommend for whenever you feel like you’re running on empty. It’s that euphoria you feel when everything clicks, that explosion of radical self-love and you finally feel what you’ve been waiting for your whole life. I want the world to ‘let go’ of all the BS that keeps you down when they hear ‘Afterglow’.”
Sam is an Australian born singer-songwriter with more than a billion streams to his name. His debut single ‘This City’ currently stands at over 750 million worldwide streams and 4 million worldwide sales and stayed in the UK Top 20 for 11 weeks. His duet with Demi Lovato on ‘What Other People Say’ has also sold over 1 million copies and saw him perform the track on Ellen.
More recently, Sam duetted with Meghan Trainor for their hit track ‘Alright’, which surpassed 1.5 million worldwide streams within its first week of release in June, receiving strong tastemaker support from the likes of Notion, Evening Standard, Daily Star & more. He also paired this with a series of intimate live shows across the UK & EU as part of his Something To Hold Onto Tour, which saw Sam go back to his acoustic roots and showcase new music from his upcoming new album due out later this year.
