Sam Thomas released “I’m Gonna Be A Witch” this month along with a debut video to accompany the track.
He’s the son of an opera singer, but also takes influences from the likes of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and My Bloody Valentine. Sam Thomas’ single “I’m Gonna Be A Witch” is majestic and beautiful and you can hear where his influences have really taken hold—in the slow build up, the crescendo, and the fade out. There’s almost no start or end to the song, with a dreamy essence underneath the melody.
The one draw back of the single is just as it starts to pique your interest, it’s all over. It’s a gorgeous piece of music, but almost feels a little too much like background noise after a few listens and would maybe have benefitted from some layered vocal harmonies or the presence of vocals full stop.
Despite this, Sam Thomas has got us wondering what else is up his sleeve, and if this is just the beginning, then we very much look forward to hearing his debut album in the summer.
