Samuel Evanson – “Freaks”

“Freaks” by Samuel Evanson is an indie pop track that pulls you in with it raw honesty. Hailing from North Wales, this singer songwriter has put together a song that feels completely unforced, built on great hooks and a story about finding your place in the world. It sounds like the moment someone stops trying to blend into the background and just accepts who they are.

The lyrics get straight to the point, opening with a scene of someone shaking and wanting to hide away, before a line is thrown out to offer some comfort. There is a great push and pull between the verses and the chorus, where Evanson sings about wanting to play nice, watch the sunrise, or just be freaks if they want to. The song captures that exact feeling of looking for a reply online, getting a late night phone call, and realizing you do not have to change a single thing about yourself to fit in. It has a brilliant groove that keeps the energy moving while letting the emotion clear across the vocal performance.

The production matches the songwriting perfectly, creating a big atmosphere that feels incredibly polished without losing its human edge. Everything builds beautifully toward a chaotic bridge where life feels like a circus that is about to come apart, before dropping right back into that addictive chorus. It is a massive step forward for him, showing off a mature artistic identity and some of his sharpest songwriting yet.

I absolutely love this release, and you should definitely go back and check out his previous releases, including the award winning single “He Gave Me Nothing“, to see how much his music has evolved. Make sure to follow Samuel Evanson on his socials and streaming platforms to stay updated on everything he has coming up during the rest of this year, because this new era is going to be something special.
