Following the release of his duet with Demi Lovato on ‘What Other People Say’, and the hit single ‘This City’ and recent fan track ‘Simple’, the neo-soul pop-rock performer & songwriter SAM FISCHER has now shared a redemptive and encouraging new single, titled “Hopeless Romantic” available via RCA Records.

On Hopeless Romantic Sam reveals intimate emotions, detailing in his characteristic honest & open manner, as he assesses the disappointments and inconsistencies that he faces as an artist and re-imagines what every-day life might be like if not filled with setbacks. This number is narratively complex and demonstrative (without being gushy), and becomes a multi-cadenced and encouraging experience for the listener as it builds into a striking and gutsy chorus.

I was actively refusing to accept the reality and instead romanticizing a version of life that just simply didn’t exist...

Sam says: “There have been times over the past two years where I really felt like I’d never get to do the things I’d always dreamed about doing as an artist. With every virtual performance that ended with a deep silence from my furniture, it just started making me really sad, and at the same time guilty, because I wasn’t appreciating what I have at all.”

“I was actively refusing to accept the reality and instead romanticizing a version of life that just simply didn’t exist. That’s really what Hopeless Romantic is about. Though I will say, having just come off of my first headline tour, where I got to meet my fans for the first time, who are the people who give me this life, I’m in a much better place...”

The Australian born singer-songwriter and instrumentalist began his musical journey at age three when he started playing violin. By the age of ten he’d also taken up the saxophone, playing regularly in a high school jazz band. By twelve, he was writing his first songs. He attended Sydney Grammar School and later the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. In 2010 he was accepted to Berklee College of Music in Boston, and moved to the U.S.A. to study music.

At Berklee he joined the vocal troupe “Pitch Slapped”which won an a cappella competition in 2014 and when he moved to moved to Los Angeles, the same year, he became active on the local a cappella scene and sang backing vocals for the band HOLYCHILD.

In May 2016, Fischer released his first single, titled “Lean.”

He has received great acclaim for his own work, and continues to solidify his position as one of the brightest songwriters on the circuit, having worked with global pop star sensations, including: Lennon Stella, Louis Tomlinson, Elle King, Jessie J, Virginia To Vegas and many more.

Sam’s debut single ‘This City’ currently stands at over 500 million worldwide streams and stayed in the UK Top 20 for 11 weeks. The track went double platinum in Australia, platinum in the UK and Gold in the U.S.A, New Zealand and Switzerland.
