Brooklyn Soul Pop Collective Sammy Rae & The Friends Return With New Single “Follow Me Like The Moon”
After their phenomenal 2021 EP Let’s Throw A Party, Brooklyn collective Sammy Rae & The Friends are back with their first single of 2022 with “Follow Me Like the Moon”. Known for their lively and energizing sound and live performances, the band continues to solidify themselves as a sensational emerging act.
“Follow Me Like The Moon” is a dancey, laugh-at-itself song about the thoughts that linger on us all through life. Romantic feelings, fear, addiction…it examines how we are shaped and changed by the things we can’t seem to “shake off” or “sleep off.” It features celestial keyboards and raw hand percussion, a dexterous tenor saxophone solo doubled by synthesizer, and a lush grand piano outro“.
Frontwoman Sammy Rae has an elegance and irresistibility to her voice; it’s equal parts alluring and brimming with positivity, rounded out by a frantic band of percussion, horns, guitars, and keys. On “Follow Me Like The Moon”, groovy rhythms and Latin influence shine through her charming performance.
