It is rare to come across a voice that has the ability to grasp deep inside as much as the one of Brooklyn-based Sam Himself, whose whispered baritone and simple ballads revives memories of early Leonard Cohen. Uncomplicated yet effortlessly dynamic, the Switzerland born artist’s folky new release, “Out of Love” is an honest and raw expression of how we are willing to do anything out of love. His voice is complimented by the tenderness of the female harmonies of Denitia Odigie, giving heart to two sides of a relationship. Stay tuned for future releases, as this is a voice that is hard to forget. – Madeleine Grossman, photo by Daryl Oh
