The BRIT-nominated powerhouse Sam Ryder is back with “White Lies,” a soaring, emotionally charged anthem representing a bold new era for his ever-evolving sound. With a renewed landscape and an ever-resonant storytelling approach, this latest release proves that Ryder is not only here to stay but also to re-invent.
Co-written with hitmaker Nick Lobel, “White Lies” is a masterclass in dynamic songwriting. The track from the first note pulls you into a maelstrom of rawness, where truth-telling and deceit get messy in the sticky tapestries of intimacy. The signature Ryder vocals are strong, insistent, and full of emotion, gliding with ease over an electrifying stage that feels, on a broader scale, more cinematic than anything we’ve heard from him to date.
A new kind of energy in “White Lies” indicates Ryder’s artistic growth over the past year. It’s audacious, elevated, and a song that should be played on blast. The emotional weight of the track resides in each crashing drumbeat, every soaring melody, and every field of quiet contemplation before the storm of the chorus hits.
“White Lies” finds truth’s grey area, where deception isn’t necessarily malicious but still leaves a mark. It’s both introspective and anthemic, personal and universally relatable, a balance that Ryder easily handles. More than a single, “White Lies” establishes the landscape in Sam Ryder’s next chapter.
