Sam Tompkins has released his new track ‘phones in heaven’ and announced his highly anticipated debut album ‘hi, my name is insecure’ via Island Records, is due to drop 24th May 2024.
‘phones in heaven’, is a brutally honest portrayal of the pain and confusion that comes with missing someone; having your time with them cut short and longing to hear from them again. Speaking on the single Sam says, “When I originally wrote ‘phones in heaven’, my real intention was to write a song for young people, especially men who have lost a friend early. As I’ve got older and meet more people, most people I know have at some point lost someone they loved prematurely through illness, suicide or other things; myself included. It’s coming from a place where you want to enjoy your life and move forward, but in a lot of cases because you didn’t get closure, you feel as though you can’t. You honestly think maybe just one call from that person would give you peace, but sadly life doesn’t always work like that. When I lost my dad to suicide in November of last year, this song felt even more powerful to me, so it felt like the most fitting way to come into 2024. To show others that they are not alone in their struggles and that we can all get through these things if we just open up conversation.”
Sam recently performed the new track to a sold-out Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, where he captivated the audience.
The show kicked off an eight-date tour, beginning in London and visiting Rotterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt and Dublin, with many shows sold out and more tickets added due to incredible demand. Last year, his sold-out US/Canada tour included a stop at The Troubadour in LA with Justin and Hailey Bieber watching from backstage.
Sam will support Australian artist Kid Laroi on his UK & European tour throughout April. The shows, from 4th to 27th April, include a performance at London’s Alexandra Palace.
