THE WOODS EP COMING SOON
2025 Pop Acts to Watch
“limitless in his sounds and inspirations.” – Rolling Stone 25 Artists to Watch in 2025
“He has been working his whole life for this moment.” – Pigeons & Planes
Today, Sam Austins shares his new single “A baby girl named Heaven.” Offering a fresh sonic blend of house and jerk rhythms, paired with reverb-drenched falsettos, he sings of a long-awaited reunion with a past lover, “It’s been a while since I’ve felt your touch, it’s been a while since I’ve been in the cut, it’s been a while since I’ve been with anyone.” This latest release follows the ghettotech love letter “Smoke break” and breakout single “Seasons” which has amassed over 50M global streams.
This month, Sam will support Magdalena Bay’s upcoming North American tour, including stops in New York, Boston, Toronto, Detroit, Kansas City and more. Tickets are available for purchase at https://imaginaldisk.world/tour
Hailing from Detroit, Sam Austins is redefining alternative music with a sound that’s uniquely his own. His mixtape HOMELESS STAR is a heartfelt homage to his city, blending deeply personal stories with the resilience and grit of growing up in Detroit. In 2023, his bold EP Boy Toy showcased his ability to blend genres, drawing influences from Outkast, LCD Soundsystem, and Smashing Pumpkins. Sam has performed at major festivals like Lollapalooza and Bleached Fest and shared stages with artists like Omar Apollo and KAYTRANADA. With a passion for storytelling, he’s gearing up to share more new music this year.
Last year, Sam stepped into wide attention with his single “Seasons,” a song about the end of a blessed era. With an end, of course, comes a chance for a new beginning. That is exactly what his upcoming EP The Woods is – a step out of the confines of the past and into Sam’s unfettered future, where ghettotech and electro clash, indie rock and pop come together in his romantic vision of the world.
