Sam Johnson has released his new single ‘Stuck Under The Surface’.
Out now via Made Records, the track is the third single taken from Sam’s forthcoming debut ‘Eastcote’ EP due out November 1st.
The track marks Sam’s third appearance on LMLL as Track of the Day, with previous singles ‘Medicine For My Brain‘ and ‘Trip On Gold‘ landing the slot.
Speaking of the single, Sam said: “‘Stuck Under the Surface’ is a song born from the ashes of a long term relationship that didn’t quite work out. It came to fruition in the wake of a breakup and felt like a very necessary form of catharsis. I knew it had to be honest if it were to be convincing, but naturally with that came a level of difficulty and unease that Id rarely had to deal with when writing songs before. However, rather inevitably, it’s gone on to become one of my favourite songs on the EP. I’ve realised that its overarching message is one of openness. I found closure in being able to write this song, when previously feeling unable to articulate my feelings or stuck under the surface, and I hope others will be touched similarly when listening.”
Exactly as Sam aimed, the track’s lyrics undoubtedly strike a relation to many. It’s an emotive single that’s cleverly crafted with Sam’s powerful vocals leading the way, but that’s not to say it’s your ‘typical’ breakup song. It’s a euphoric single intertwined with beautiful melodies that’ll leave you singing along, empowered by the relatable lyrics.
