Sam Williams will release new project ‘Act I: Scarlet Lonesome' on 28th June 2024
As he enters a bold new creative era, Williams recently released ‘American Actress', which landed as he performed at CMA Fest in Nashville. The song is the second taster from the new project after Williams unveiled his cover of Tammy Wynette's “Til I Can Make It On My Own” with Carter Faith.
About ‘American Actress', Sam commented, “We all have several stories. We have the one we used to believe, the one we’re in, the one we tell ourselves, and the one we escape to. Shakespeare said the world is a stage and everyone's an actor, and I think that’s true. Especially when in love, we morph and change ourselves to be liked, to be loved. I think this song has the honesty of my ill-fated loves and the dark allure of a tragic ending. My heartache doesn’t always sound like your general country song sound; it has a bittersweet and painful swing that takes me back.”
Williams also recently debuted ‘Carnival Heart', the official anthem for the new innovative country-themed show, Songblazers: A Journey Into Country Music, produced and presented by Cirque du Soleil and Universal Music Group Nashville. Written and directed by Amy Tinkham, Songblazers opens in Nashville this July with seven additional cities following the launch.

1. Scarlet Lonesome
2. I Was Home
3. I Heard Mary Jane Praying For Me
4. Runaway
