Artist Close-Up: Samm Henshaw Gives His Heart To Modern Soul

I said it with Jalen N’Gonda, and I say it again with Samm Henshaw; going Soul is going for the long haul. In a way, it makes sense that humanity is addicted to fresh artists that have a fresh sound. As persons, we are all latching to nostalgia and, at least once, have looked at the past with more loving eyes for our present and future. Thus, Samm Henshaw’s classic Motown vibe mixed with some good ol’ fashioned rock n’ blues feels like the most “now” thing.

As a performer, Samm sings as if he is reliving the moment behind his songs. Squinting his eyes, gritting his teeth, and pouring his heart as if he can feel the past loves, communal disappointments, and personal dreams that have overtaken him. His capacity to emote raw passion over a soundscape that jolts with liveliness leaves you confounded. How can you be begging for a lover to return, while also shaking your body as if you never needed one in the first place? His rhythms make you feel free and independent, while his lyrics and voice writhe as if they are confined to seeking “better”.

When I say “better,” I mean it in the way we all feel it in our hearts, but constantly fail to manifest it properly. I have always said life is an invention, but happiness is an investment. In other words, Henshaw’s music is about witnessing surroundings to realize that how you enjoy them is strictly dependent on how you move your heart. For More Information On Samm Henshaw Click Here.
