Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Samm Henshaw unveils his latest track 'Fade,' featuring Memphis singer KIRBY. While Samm and Kirby collaborated on the song in the studio, they delved into the mindset of someone navigating personal struggles. ‘Fade’ encapsulates the urge to choose avoidance as a coping mechanism, mistakenly believing it's the right path. It portrays the repercussions of not confronting the underlying issues and clinging to what no longer nurtures you. The video offers a birds-eye perspective of an icy couples therapy session, featuring a cameo appearance of the blue notepad that will undoubtedly become more prominent in the weeks ahead.
Samm Henshaw’s musical journey is one of triumph. With a string of global tours, he has amassed close to 400 million global streams and one million monthly listeners. COLORS, Man About Town, GQ, NPR, and many more have recognised his talent. He has also made a mark in TV and film, with several syncs to his name. His recent foray into fashion saw him at the forefront of London Fashion Week for Ahluwalia and Labrum. His collaborations with a diverse range of artists, including Kota The Friend, Tobe Nwigwe, Maverick Sabre, EarthGang, and Wretch 32, and his work with icons Steve McQueen and Quincy Jones, showcase his versatility and creative prowess.
'Samm celebrates a decade of releasing music, having worked closely with his management team, Ian Henry and Jackie Davidson at JD Management, from the very beginning.'
Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, the city of soul, KIRBY proudly carries the title of the "Granddaughter of Soul." With her mesmerising vocals and soulful melodies, she captivates audiences worldwide. Drawing from her Southern roots, her music effortlessly blends R&B, soul, and gospel influences, creating a sound that resonates deeply with listeners.

In 2020, she unveiled her debut EP, "Sis.," a project that garnered widespread acclaim for its raw emotion and genuine storytelling. As she continues to grace the music scene with her soul-stirring performances and heartfelt lyrics, KIRBY remains a force to be reckoned with.
Taking some personal time away from music, Samm embarked on a transformative journey, immersing himself in other cultures and creative outlets and revelling in new experiences.
