Continuing his meteoric rise from local newcomer to rising star, Liverpool native Addley unleashes his latest dancefloor dynamo ‘Say It Anyway’. Known by his surname, Sam Addley crafts a unique blend of alternative emotions, electronic nuances, and the robust presence of a five-piece band. His live performances across the UK, in cities like Leeds, Birmingham, London, and his hometown Liverpool, have earned him a devoted following. Drawing inspiration from Florence + The Machine, London Grammar, and Sam Fender, this rising artist’s sound is rapidly becoming a defining force in the indie scene.
This electrifying single bursts open with cinematic piano chords, subtle synth whispers, and a relentless four-to-the-floor beat that sets the stage with punchy kicks and spirited hi-hat rhythms. Addley‘s voice, a beacon of emotional resonance, threads sentimental passion through the high-energy tapestry of sound. As the track unfolds, the intensity escalates, propelling through explosive choruses and ethereal verses with dynamic melodies and vivid sonic textures. The crescendo builds like a tidal wave, sweeping listeners into a rapture by the closing notes.
Before we leave you to listen to ‘Say It Anyway’, here’s a word directly from Addley:“‘Say It Anyway’ is about starting to lose someone you deeply care about. It’s that heart-wrenching awareness of inevitable change, desperately trying to hit the brakes. It’s about surrendering to the tension, uttering your final words, clinging to every moment—even if it’s filled with conflict and strife.”
