Sam Ryder steps forward with a huge burst of creative spark on his new album ‘Heartland’, a pop soul celebration full of power, warmth and soaring vocals. The record arrives with his new single “The Feeling Never Went Away”, a track built on a pulsing bassline and a vocal that lights up every corner of the mix. The single opens the door to a world of feeling, reflection and rhythm shaped by Sam’s bold vision.
Sam shares the heart of the song with clarity and emotion. He says, “It’s about still having feelings for someone or something even though they perhaps don’t deserve them anymore, but you can’t help it, it’s chemical. In my own life that finds its form in the shape of struggles or demons I’ve had over the past year or so, and even though I think I’ve conquered them, back they come. I think ultimately healing and breaking the cycle is about recognizing these feelings and accepting them and knowing that although the feeling might never go away, it doesn’t define us.” His voice carries that sentiment with strength and openness.
‘Heartland’ brings together Sam’s songwriting, guitar hooks and vocal range in a rich and expansive sound he calls frontier soul. The album was created with a remarkable team of collaborators who helped shape its color and depth. Each track builds on Sam’s creativity and love of storytelling, forming a collection that moves with cinematic flair and heartfelt intention.
Sam’s momentum continues as he plays his biggest headline show at Wembley Arena and celebrates recent performances on NBC’s Today and The Kelly Clarkson Show. His journey reaches new heights as he reconnects with his inspirations, his fans and the frontier soul spirit that defines the record.
