Sam York – Safety in Numbers
Sam York - Safety in Numbers
Release Date: Out Now
I do love a little lyrical
gymnastics and London singer-songwriter Sam York has been limbering up –
possibly in a leotard, possibly not. New single ‘Safety in Numbers’ might sound
like the love song of someone suffering with autophobia but it’s actually more
akin to someone obsessed with numerology. The Americana tinged acoustic strums
get this going with a warm, sunrise on a Saturday feeling but it’s only when
those aforementioned lyrics arrive that the real magic happens. “A one time I
lost my way til your two hands helped to guide me home now there are three words
you told me to say and four walls I built you stone by stone”, sings York and
you can see the pattern forming here. The rush of percussion and use of violins
adds some swell to this which matches the swell of emotions this track brings
about. As the urgency builds with a soft drum thud and those violin stabs, York’s
soft yet assured grows in power and hits you right in the feels. This is a charming,
Jake Morley-esque track that I am hugely enamoured with having only just discovered
Sam York so I’ll be looking out for more and you should too.
