Sam Tompkins Drops Emotional New Single, "Hero"

In late January, the rapidly rising UK pop artist, Sam Tompkins released his latest single, "Hero". An emotional note written to his father, "Hero" is a message of hope in dark times. The song is written as an ode, a tribute, to the strength that his father embodied and portrayed, through some particularly tough times, in life. "Hero", is a deeply personal song for Sam. His courageous and heart-felt lyrics work hand-in-hand with a vulnerable yet silky smooth, vocal performance, to bare the true emotionality of the song and show his true chops as a songwriter. "Some turn invisible, But that's not original, Might not be invincible, But you're still my hero, dad" is the final verse of the song, further proving the strength of Tompkins' father in a challenging time that leaves many people unable to remain constant and steadfast.

"Hero", is an emotionally raw and melodic track, that slow burns into your soul. A clean acoustic riff, gently guides beautifully sung lyrics from your ears to your heart and a steady percussion drives directly to your feet, forcing the toes to tap.

"Hero" will be the third track to release from Sam's upcoming EP, 'who do you pray to?', set to drop on March 18, 2022. The single is another major example of the artists talent.
