Ireland and California, USA-based folk singer songwriter Samuel Blaney first featured on this blog in August thanks to his romantic debut song and video Ember. Now I’m pleased to welcome him back with a new one that celebrates the transition into autumn. It’s called Paradise.

Samuel is a horticulturist and is greatly inspired by nature for his music. With his latest he perfectly captures the season through gentle, reflective acoustic instrumentals and his delicate vocals. As with Ember, there’s a vein of romanticism running through Paradise. In fact, the two track are interlinked and work together to tell a wider story.

With only two tracks out there in the world, Samuel is already impressing. I think we could be witnessing the birth of something special with his music.
