2020 release. ‘Recording in a foreign environment like Berlin, I was inspired to experiment with more cinematic, psychedelic sounds,’ says Sam Doores, ‘but my love for old-school New Orleans R&B, Memphis soul and rock n’ roll, Detroit Motown and gospel, doo-wop, early blues and folk music will probably always bleed into whatever I do. Recording this album was an opportunity to explore the space between these worlds.’ With his captivating self-titled debut, Sam Doores has done precisely that. Written on-and-off over the course of several years, the collection is classic and contemporary all at once, blending traditional southern roots with adventurous sonic landscapes as it reckons with heartache and loss, love and gratitude, fresh starts and, ultimately, a whole lotta change. The performances are infectious in their ease, simple on the surface but built on foundations of deep emotional and harmonic complexity that belie their amiable exteriors.
