SoloSam shares vivid new single, “Calabasas”

Chicago songwriter, producer, and chef SoloSam has shared a new single called “Calabasas”, featuring MFnMelo of Pivot Gang. “Calabasas” follows up his well-received, self-produced album Principles to Die By, which found Sam bridging the gap between music and cooking by accompanying the release with a cooking show called “Principles to Dine By.” His latest offering, “Calabasas”, is a vibrant, sonically rich exploration of the artist’s world and psyche and finds him at new heights as a songwriter.

“Calabasas” opens with expansive strings that are equal parts haunting and beautiful, before immersive, warbling keys are added to create a layered sound. As crisp, grooving percussion and buoyant bass blend to conjure an infectious rhythm section, Sam delivers smoothly melodic yet emotive verses that match the beat’s elegance. Alongside a charismatic guest verse from MFnMelo, the song contains engaging vocal performances that draw the listener into the track’s immersive, hazy sound.

Soulful and surreal, “Calabasas” is a vivid self-produced offering that is grand in scope and focused in its songwriting, making for a listening experience that is both thought-provoking and addictive.
