Sam Handy: Done
UK luminary, Sam Handy, sings the blues in his neo-soul-goes-pop single, Done
Since making his debut, UK-based artist and songwriter, Sam Handy has delivered stellar hit after stellar hit. His latest single, Done, produced by Ed Stokes, is a firecracker of a neo-soul jam. It eases you in with the vibrant funk-dripping grooves before the weight of the no-prisoners-taken-lyricism grips you.
Sam Handy sets himself apart in the pop charts by keeping his focus on instrumental ability and songwriting, with minimal production, to give his sound an all-consuming live feel.
His narratively sniping lyrics and old-school blues pop vocals will be a big hit with any fans of John Mayer, Tom Misch and D’Angelo. He has already received high praise from Jeff Beck, been lauded by the BBC and won over crowds in his hometown shows.
Sam Handy said: “Done is a resounding middle finger to toxic relationships. It’s a song about moving on and towards resilience. I took inspiration from the neo-soul genre for this one. Artists like D'Angelo have inspired a lot of my melodies and vocal harmonies. I love the laid-back tones mixed with that serious attitude; that 'back off' message without a lot of the hostility. “
