Sam Weber: Blackout

The hotly-tipped BC singer/songwriter releases a new album today. This cut showcases his warm embrace of a voice to fine effect.

Sam Weber: Blackout

By Kerry Doole

Sam Weber -  Blackout (Sonic Unyon). This is the the second single off the BC singer-songwriter's third full-length, Everything Comes True, out today (Oct. 25).


It is a track that shows why he is being tipped as an artist to watch closely. Weber has a warm embrace of a voice, and the tender and candid sentments of the song are bolstered by ace accompaniment and an effective lyric video. Jackson Browne would be an apt reference pont.

In a label press release, Weber explains that "Blackout is a break-up song about feeling divided - between doing what feels right to me or what’s comfortable for someone else. It’s about watching someone try and change who they are to make you happy. It’s about trying to have a deeper understanding of relationships and investing more – and about being afraid in relationships too."

Everything Comes True was recorded in LA with producer Tyler Chester, and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Gavin Lurssen.

Weber heads out on a Western Canadian tour soon with labelmate Terra Lightfoot, followed by shows in Toronto and Hamilton.

Justin Trudeau Helps Katy Perry Promote ‘Watch it Burn’ Single With Goofy TikTok Dance: Watch

The former prime minister hopped up and down with the pop star and friends to the silly clip.

Most pop stars don’t get politicians endorsing their songs, but Katy Perry isn’t like the others. The hitmaker promoted her new single “Watch It Burn” in a recent TikTok, which featured former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau — who just so happens to be Perry’s boyfriend — giving his seal of approval by letting loose to the track.

The clip posted on Thursday (July 9) opens with the musician outdoors in a bus lot, singing the lyrics to her June-released song in close-up. Then, as the beat drops, she starts hopping up and down, moving backward a few feet to reveal a group of people bouncing around as well. After a few seconds, Trudeau joins in, bounding into frame and looking at Perry adoringly before hopping away, his hair flopping up and down.
