‘Recovery’ is the debut album by Auckland based, The Sam Loveridge Band. Melding influences of synth infused indie rock with pop and folk, makes for a varied but cohesive listen. A combination of both reflective and sassy song writing is displayed by Sam Loveridge and sometimes co-writer Loren Black.
The first single ‘Run To You’, received high critical acclaim with Muzic.net.nz awarding it 5 stars and saying “The musical hooks are massive, with the vocals in the chorus both plaintive and powerful.”
‘I Wanna Dance’ was the second single from the album. When asked about it, Sam said “My friend Loren, who I'd written a couple of songs with, had expressed an interest in writing a pop banger, so we met up for a writing session. I'd spent a little while playing with funk ideas and after playing a couple to Loren she had the lyrics sussed. It was a really fun session, and the song pretty much wrote itself. I love the spirit of defiant joy that came out of it”.
February 18th will see The Sam Loveridge Band release their live music video for “Better Man”, which was filmed at Luma Studios.
