2x RIAA Platinum-certified singer-songwriter Sam Barber has shared his latest single, “Home Tonight,” available now via Atlantic Records. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Ryan Hewitt (The Lumineers, Noah Kahan) and Joe Becker, the deeply moving track heralds the arrival of Barber’s eagerly anticipated new EP, Music for the Soul, dout now, and is accompanied by a live performance video.
Earlier this week, Barber quietly teased “Home Tonight” via his fan-first platform, Sam Barber Files, giving his most dedicated followers an intimate first listen. The evolving digital space offers a rare, unfiltered look into Barber’s world, featuring unreleased content, personal visuals, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into his creative process.
Music for the Soul begins an unforgettable new chapter for Barber following the breakout success of his 2024 debut album, Restless Mind. The EP includes the soul-baring anthem, “Man of the Year,” available everywhere now alongside an official live performance video streaming now on YouTube HERE. With its cascade of shadowy textures and darkly hypnotic guitar tones, “Man of the Year” was met by immediate critical applause from such publications as Billboard, which named it one of “6 Must-Hear New Country Songs,” writing, “This gritty track, written solely by Barber, finds him pondering the existential anguish he sees threaded throughout world events, and emotionally embedded in people around him. “Is it in my mind or are we all just sinking?” he muses, his quietly commanding voice ringing out over sparse but captivating production, and shedding light on a generation’s anxieties and fears.”
