The track is taken from the much-lauded artist’s upcoming third EP.
Sam Tompkins is an artist who has found away into the hearts and minds of listeners over the last few years with his heart-on-sleeve approach to songwriting and creating. Melding aspects from around hip-hop, pop and R&B to cultivate a sound that both feels and sounds uniquely his.
His latest single ‘(w)hole’ is as emotionally wrenching and charged as anything the artist has released, providing a candid and transparent window into the artist’s thoughts and feelings. The track is the perfect summation of everything that has made Sam such a force in the UK music scene, from it’s delicate guitars to the exasperation and longing in the artist’s soulful voice.
“I think ‘(w)hole’ is sort of a realisation of knowing that not every problem in the world can be fixed by one person,” says Sam. “If there is meaning or purpose to this life, it has to come from being and working alongside one another.”
