sam ryder He has managed to conquer millions of people with his talent. In 2022 he represented Great Britain at Eurovision Song Contest with hers spacemantook second place in the final results table after filling the Turin stage with emotion and impressive performances.
Now the Englishman is celebrating a new milestone in his career, namely the premiere of his debut studio album There’s Nothing But Space, Dude! December 9th. A project that brings us closer to his talent and with it he gives us the perfect repertoire to listen to at every opportunity.
He has spoken to us precisely about him in an interview with LOS40, ensuring that this album arrives at the right time. “I’m so excited. I postponed the launch two weeks because it’s been a very busy, very busy year and I didn’t spend much time with my family and I want to remember the start of this journey. So that’s good not to forget. My grandfather is 90 years old and I want to spend as much time with it as possible and without stuff like that, music loses its value,” said Ryder.
How would you describe Sam Ryder before this album and after? He is clear: “It doesn’t make a big difference because I’ve been making music for a long time, mostly for blanks and stuff like that, so when things change for me, I always remember those years. Because even though things have changed, it doesn’t make you better. The important thing is to remember where you came from and maintain those connections with people who are still on that path. Because I know how hard it is and I really admire and respect people who don’t give up and keep trying. So if you keep at it, you won’t change. You grow but don’t change.”
Title from There’s Nothing But Space, Dude! it’s not a coincidence. For Sam, it’s important to face the darkest times, deal with insecurities, and try to push them away. It is very important to look at the stars and realize that your problem is very small compared to the vastness of outer space. After all, there is only that. “It’s a way to cheer someone up,” he explained.
Sam’s fame started on TikTok, a platform where he started sharing his talents, which led him to represent his country in this festival. But staying on social networks is not an easy task, especially now that we live in an age of immediacy and a lot of stress. If it weren’t for TikTok, Sam says he would still be singing at weddings, something he’s forever grateful for. “She works hard and anyone in the wedding business knows that. But suddenly all this happened. I downloaded TikTok and now I’m here,” he recalls.
“I don’t read social networks. I don’t engage unless I’m working. I see it when I sign up for work, like I upload whatever it is and then I do my job. My job is not social networking. My job is to make music, find purpose live. Social media is great, it’s an important step for any artist, it depends what kind of artist you want to be. If you’re in the pop world, you’ve made a deal with yourself that you want to be a pop artist , you want to play in such a big place for these people, and social media is necessary. But that’s why you have a responsibility to have the right relationship with you. media. Media is good or bad if we let see our mobile now, network won’t tell you ‘hey, come back’. It’s like a wolf you feed. If we don’t feed it, it dies. That’s hard to answer I don’t know what advice to give other than whoever sends you a negative comment reply him/her with love You can’t let it get to you, those people can’t adjust to how you feel. The same goes for the positive comments. If you read all those messages and they make you feel good, be careful because you constantly need that validation and you’re not going to find it in the people you love, in your friends and family, that you should be finding that validation.“, he stated.
His relationship with Chanel
If there’s one thing Sam and Track, besides their time at Eurovision, is the naturalness and closeness with which they usually greet anyone. This made me even more connected and thanks to this they maintain an unbreakable connection. Will they dare to collaborate together? “He must teach me to dance,” the artist laughs. “We keep in touch. I always know what he’s doing,” he added.
Her advice for Twin Melody
Like Sam, the girls from Twin melodies They started their journey on TikTok and now they are about to land their talent on Benidorm Festival. What advice do the British have for all the artists who want to take steps to perform at the festival? “I will tell them that the experience of enjoying Eurovision is even greater if you are a fan. If you haven’t had the opportunity to be a fan, there is always time. But you need to respect the history. […] Don’t pay attention to points. Sing with your heart and stay graceful and enjoy the moment.”
