Single Review - The Little Things In Life - Sam Turner

 


Won’t it be great when we can write a review again without mention “Covid” or “troubled times”?  Well, when Sam Turner, along with Scottish co-writer Rosie Bans were tasked with writing a song about experiences with the C word they chose to look forward and put a positive spin on 2020 with their uplifting song The Little Things In Life which is Sam’s debut single. It is also a twist on the stereotype of a Country Song, in that it is looking at what we might have rather than reflecting on what we have lost.  That positivity is highlighted by the repetition of “when” while looking forward rather than “if” as many of us keep saying.

Sam and Rosie came up with the song on a song writing camp – a reward for Sam after being noticed for his 3000,000 YouTube views and the result is very much a Nashville inspired tune with its chorus and higher notes, albeit with a certain UK country/folk influence evident. Sam’s voice is slightly pop country but has an optimistic feel to it although he demonstrates that he also possesses a rockier edge, especially in the chorus.  The instrumentation is just right – guitar, brushed drums and light keyboards with excellent production and mixing.

Listening to The Little Things In Life may well help you to smile, despite everything, and maybe help you to look forward and to appreciate those little things…
