Welsh singer-songwriter Samuel Evanson kicks off 2025 with his electrifying new single, 'He Gave Me Nothing'.
Welsh singer-songwriter Samuel Evanson kicks off 2025 with a bang, unveiling his latest single, ‘He Gave Me Nothing’. Following the success of his debut album, We Are Meant to Break the Rules and the virality of hit single ‘All of a Sudden’, Samuel cements his place as one of the alt-pop scene’s most exciting emerging talents.
‘He Gave Me Nothing’ is an electrifying blend of 80s-inspired synth-pop and modern production, a track that channels the soaring energy of pop icons like Dua Lipa and Chappell Roan. At its core, the song delves into the fleeting nature of a summer romance, capturing the poignant moment of realising red flags and reclaiming one’s energy when things go awry. For Samuel, songwriting is both personal and cathartic, as he shares, “I love writing tracks about personal experiences, even if they are bad, because it’s a way of talking without talking.”
The single radiates his signature style—catchy melodies and dynamic vocals that ebb and flow with the song’s empowering yet introspective message. With pulsating drums, shimmering synths, and soaring vocals, ‘He Gave Me Nothing’ becomes an anthem of resilience and self-awareness.
The accompanying music video mirrors the song’s emotional depth, with dramatic visuals that bring his journey to life. As he continues to garner critical attention, Samuel Evanson is poised to make 2025 his breakout year—an artist to keep an eye on for fans of emotive, synth-driven pop.
