British Sam Wills has quickly established itself as one of the most interesting voices in a new-age British soul and R&B movement. The up-and-coming wave is known for its enticing blend of rich vocals, complex productions and timeless songwriting.

On his 2021 debut album Breathe, Wills explores all elements of the genre and plays with the boundaries of what soul and R&B are in the UK. The breakout single “Traingazing” in particular went viral on TikTok and helped cement the young artist’s place in the global music scene.

In his work as a producer and songwriter, Wills has been able to draw inspiration from his collaborators such as Jorja Smith, Disclosure and Jordan Rakei. But he can also spend time in the studio all alone. After 2 years of intensive songwriting, Sam Wills is now ready to release his second album, which will be released in September. Already this spring you can enjoy the first single “We Both Know”, which marks the next and even bigger chapter for the budding artist.

You can experience the musical journey towards the stars when Sam Wills visits Ideal Bar on November 15th.
