Samm Henshaw opens the year with a fresh release, unveiling his new single “Hair Down,” while also confirming that It Could Be Worse — until now available only on vinyl — will make its long-awaited debut on streaming services on January 19th after sustained fan demand.
As more musicians seek ownership over their output and explore alternatives to platform-driven release cycles, Samm has demonstrated the viability of a different model. By sidestepping algorithms and leaning into physical formats, he has already moved more than 2,000 vinyl copies, underscoring a growing audience for music beyond the digital-first approach.
“Hair Down” signals an evolution in Samm’s sound, pairing his relaxed, assured vocal style with a rhythm-forward backdrop. The song carries a gentle message of release and trust, culminating in a joyful, communal refrain inviting listeners to let go. To mark the arrival of It Could Be Worse on streaming, Samm will set out on an expansive tour spanning over 30 dates across the US, Asia, and Europe, kicking off in Tokyo on January 27th and wrapping with a celebratory London homecoming at KOKO on March 24th.
