Premiere: Samuel Ford – ‘Kings’

"An attempt to look at life in a more positive light..."

Sometimes we all need a little ray of hope to keep us going.

Even the toughest, the bravest amongst us occasionally need a little boost, a reminder that beyond the black lies a gleaming white.

Music can be a wonderful source for this. Samuel Ford knows as much, and tried to capture this feeling in new song 'Kings'.

As the songwriter readily admits: "The song itself is a proclamation of 'being' – an attempt to look at life in a more positive light rather than the negative."

Intoxicating, folk-tinged fare, 'Kings' is another step forward for the blossoming songwriter. "As someone whose natural tendency is for minor keys, introspection and 'uplifting' melancholy (the staple of any singer-songwriter), I'm always over the moon when I've written something with an ounce of hope!”

Check it out now.
