Posted July 14, 20222 yr 'Alright' which was the B-side to the vinyl release of Long Way Off last year and which had its own release for Record Store Day earlier this year is getting a digital release tomorrow.
July 14, 20222 yr One of his best tracks, so pleased after it originally being relegated to a b-side they’ve now released it and it’s getting some love from Spotify’s NMF.
July 15, 20222 yr "Alright" is a pretty good tune and sounds pretty fresh. Hopefully, people stop rinsing the year old SGU Edited July 15, 20222 yr by Hadji
July 16, 20222 yr Debuts at #42 on Spotify today! Sam confirmed at Finsbury Park yesterday that other unreleased songs from SGU are also set to get releases this year.
July 16, 20222 yr This shows how B sides are often forgotten even when they are great songs and I welcome Alright avoiding this. So many artists have so many brilliant B Sides.
July 16, 20222 yr One of his favorite tracks and more to come it seems, that will keep interest going while he is on his American tour. Really hope ‘Alright’ can make the Top 100 on Friday :cheer:
July 16, 20222 yr He has so many amazing unreleased songs that he has randomly performed at shows - really looking forward to seeing what they pull from the vaults to release, and it just shows how strong his songwriting is that songs like ‘Alright’ didn’t even make the cut for the deluxe version of the album.
July 16, 20222 yr He’s the cover star of Spotify’s ‘The Rock List’ and ‘Alright’ is track 2 - it has just under half a million subscribers so hopefully that will help keep it a bit stable :cheer:
July 17, 20222 yr It’s also track 1 on Amazon’s ‘Fresh Indie’ and Apple’s ‘New Alternative’ playlists :dance:
July 17, 20222 yr Author They’re pushing it quite a lot for a B-side! Not complaining though ;) I mean it was a b-side, it technically isn't anymore now it has a standalone release
July 17, 20222 yr That’s true, but I suppose usually with the RSD releases they just turn up on streaming with little fanfare.
July 17, 20222 yr Drops from #42 to #160 on Spotify with the impact of NMF fading. Still more than I expected for a track with no build up, no airplay, video or promotion and was only mentioned on Sam’s socials once when it was released.
