Melbourne electronic artist Sam Phay shows no sign of fatigue with the release of his third single “Hell or High Water.” What a stunning song. As with his previous releases, Sam wears his heart on his sleeve for this anthemic number which challenges what we think we know about electronic music. It’s given me chills.
“It’s the first track I wrote for the Sam Phay project and kind of paved the way sonically for the rest of the tracks. It’s about committing your whole self to someone,” Sam explained. “I like to think of this track as a moment for the EP where the clouds part and the light starts to poke through a little. It still feels dark and brooding at points but there’s a real genuine positivity to it all. Lyrically it’s very reflective, sincere and I like to characterise it as being the ending of the narrative that’s been established by the previous songs,” tells Phay.
We can look forward to more of Sam’s material when his debut EP Botanical drops soon.
