London artist Sammy Angelo has provided his debut single, “Love Me No More,” and he’s securing it with a feature from none other than JLS’ Oritsé Williams. A track full of warmth, emotion, and just the right amount of groove sets the tone for a summer soundtrack that’s as emotionally resonant as it is danceable.
What’s ultimately most compelling about “Love Me No More” is its backstory, evidence of how something organic can still be ignited in this digital age. A casual mention that one of the participants made on social media turned into a full-fledged hookup. One of the producers, Ayo Beatz, who made music for KSI, Wes Nelson, and Chip, clocked the IG post and smelt potential. Throw chart-topping S1mba into the studio mix, and suddenly, Sammy had the dream team behind his debut release.
Sammy Angelo’s performance is deep in tone and soul, providing something new in a genre that relies too much on formulas. Then Oritsé Williams’ soulful rasp anchors the suggestion of experiences that stretch past the private grief and more towards melancholic beatitudes in a way that only he can. The chemistry between the two is unnatural, as if they’d been singing together for decades.
Matching slick Pop with R&B sensibilities, the track straddles the line between introspection and rhythm. It’s a breakup song with a bittersweet bounce but never bitter. This is a statement from Sammy Angelo, a burgeoning voice in UK music with the vision to match his hustle. If that’s his starting point, the ceiling is high, and he’s hitting stride. In a world of overnight virality and vanishing fame, “Love Me No More” sounds like the kind of song that stays around not just as a summer jam but for the story it tells and how it feels.
