Swiss-American Alt/Indie artist Sam Himself has shared his latest single, “Backstreets,” which marks the second preview of his album Moonsongs expected to arrive later this year.
“Backstreets,” supported by a melodic bassline courtesy of Josh Werner (Norah Jones, Ghostface Killah). The track’s Production, handled by Daniel Schlett (Iggy Pop, The War on Drugs), delivers a cinematic arrangement.
“Backstreets” weaves between places and memories, a “bittersweet feeling of being at home in between worlds,” which is experience Sam knows well from dividing his time between New York City and Switzerland.
In support of Moonsongs, his third studio album, the two-time Swiss Music Awards nominee will embark on an international tour starting in February. Performances will include a mix of full-band shows, trio sets, and solo appearances, kicking off in Switzerland.
