Sam Evian has released a new single, ‘Rollin’ In’, lifted from his upcoming album Plunge. It follows lead single ‘Wild Days’, and you can listen to it below.
“The song is a box of memories, and a meditation,” Evian explained in a statement. “I grew up on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, and often went down to the ocean to commune with myself, a habit I picked up from my mother. It’s a reflection of that time of my life, and who I’ve become in the years since. I started writing about a simple relationship theme, but quickly realised I was examining myself and my own disillusionment with who I thought I would become, versus the person I am today.”
“Initially I did not plan on a sax solo, but Wayne Shorter passed away the day I was finishing the mix, so I felt inspired to put it in at the last minute,” he added. “I did my best to pay tribute to his sensitivity, lyricism and restraint. I wanted it to feel like big rolling waves.”
Plunge is set for release March 22 via Flying Cloud Recordings/Thirty Tigers. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Sam Evian.
