When I saw Sam Buckingham supporting Tim Freedman recently, “Something More” was one of the tracks that impressed me most. So I’m thrilled to see the rest of the country gets to discover this folky feminist anthem.
“I wrote this song because I was tired of being told I was asking too much – when really, all I’ve ever asked for is the absolute bare minimum of equality and respect,” she said. “It’s a reminder to myself not to accept the status quo.”
“Something More” gives us our first official taste of Sam’s upcoming album Dear John. Before that drops later this year, get a sneaky listen to some more new material at Sam’s upcoming gigs.
