Description: | ?Sam Semple?s Mystery Songs have been haunting me for weeks. Here is a real new talent. A singer songwriter with a mastery of lyrics, a sweet voice, and an angle on life that will make you think even as you hum and smile? fabulous debut.? - Stephen Fry
?Very special. I listened to all of it and it?s fantastic, it really, really is. A gem. I just love everything about it? a beautiful album.? ? Janice Long
?Gorgeous debut? The quality of this record reminds me of a golden time when one could site down for 40 minutes and be completely absorbed by music. The likes of Cat Stevens and CSNY spring to mind. Sam Semple has unearthed a gem.? ? Maverick Magazine July 2014
?Mystery Songs is full of melody, poetry... Every song glows with loving care, each one of them the product of constant nurture and attention.? ? Three Monkeys Online Magazine
?A remarkably assured debut album? well-crafted originals of classic, Radio 2-friendly folk-pop.?
? Acoustic Magazine June 2014
Sam Semple is a singer-songwriter with a debut album called Mystery Songs, a brilliant rite of passage record in which he writes deeply about human hope and doubt, a farewell to youth inspired by the coming birth of his own son.
In 2004, seeing Kris Kristofferson in concert for the first time was a major epiphany for Sam, marking a gradual turning point in his fortunes as a musician:
"That night I was so uplifted by Kristofferson. His songs were terrific, so poignantly delivered. He has this great dignity about him as an artist. That is what I want to be like, I thought. It was such a truthful performance."
Gradually, Sam started to enjoy some success writing with other artists. He co-wrote ?Better? with Tom Baxter, a song written for Sam's own wedding, later covered by Boyzone and more recently Engelbert Humperdinck. He also co-wrote ?Miracle? with Tom, the signature track for the BBC?s Beijing Olympics coverage and more recently he wrote ?How Would You Do It?? with French pop star Medi, a top ten hit in Japan.
