Music News - Rising star Sam Heselwood releases emotive new single 'I Remember'
08 March 2024 - 0 Comments
While taking his music to the international stage in London, Darfield-raised Sam Heselwood has today released his new soulful ballad I Remember.
The emotionally charged single, written and produced alongside Joel Jones (Macey, Will Swinton, Balu Brigada) and Alex Stacey (Ella Henderson, OneRepublic) is the result of “just wanting to pour my heart out into something.”
After a whirlwind session of just 4 hours at Auckland’s Parachute Studios, Sam says he drew inspiration from a heartbreaking fictional scenario of his partner passing away. Using music for both expression and comfort, Sam hopes that I Remember will be “whatever the listener needs it to be. Whether you’ve lost someone, missing someone, or just need to pour your heart out.”
Made with the support of NZ On Air, I Remember follows the release of Sam’s 2023 EP Home Is Where The Heart Is and the raging success of single Home (#1 Hot NZ Singles Chart, over 1 million streams on Spotify, ZM, The Edge). Sam says today’s release explores a different part of his artistic growth by “showing I’m able to stand alone with a piano ballad and not hide behind huge production.”
Also released today is a stunning music video filmed by Sam and his partner Sophie and edited by previous collaborator Gordon Duff. Shot in the serene Cotswolds, England, the video follows Sam as he walks and sings his way through the countryside, while incorporating still shots of the world around him. Sam says the clip hopes to “convey the simplicity and beauty of the song, while reflecting on time spent with a significant other”.
