Hastings-based singer-songwriter Sam Calver has released his latest single 'River', written after the birth of his first-born son.

Producer by British songwriting and production team Red Triangle (Lukas Graham, James Arthur, Emeli Sandé), 'River' was penned as a tribute to his firstborn child.

With a moving message about the bond between father and son at its core, the track is inspired by Calver's unconditional love for his new baby boy.

"‘River’ is a classic love song but written from a place I have never found myself in before...fatherhood”, Sam explains.

“Written in only 45 minutes, it poured out of me like it had already been written in my head. I hope listeners can find their loved ones in this song too and relate to it. This was the first song for me that changed my approach to songwriting, coming from an honest and heartfelt place," he added.

"I will be forever proud of this song”.

The singer's latest EP 'Home' was released on May 22, with tracks 'Better Days' and 'You Already Know' dropping as the first and second singles off the EP.

Calver is planning a special release party via Facebook Live on June 20 to mark 100,000 streams on his 'Home EP'.
