Sam Larkin - Ransom

colinandcarly

Review by Colin Johnson

Sam Larkin's latest album Ransom is a true masterpiece of contemporary music. With his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics, Larkin delivers a collection of songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.

From the opening track "Broken Hearted" to the closing ballad "Goodbye", Ransom takes listeners on a journey through the highs and lows of love and life. Larkin's songwriting is at its best on tracks like "Ransom" and "Let Go", where he tackles themes of forgiveness and redemption with raw honesty and vulnerability.

Musically, Ransom is a blend of folk, rock, and pop, with Larkin's acoustic guitar and piano providing a solid foundation for his emotive vocals. The album's production is polished yet organic, giving each song a warm and inviting sound.
