Sam Trump • "Count On Me"
Words by Allen Hotchkiss
Back in January we brought you Sam Trump’s beautiful single "Love, Peace & Happiness" and I’m really excited to introduce everyone to his newest work – "Count On Me". Stepping away from his work with Sidewalk Chalk, he’s paired up again with producer Calvin Valentine and delivered the perfect summer reminder that we need to value love & community interdependence above all else.
"Count On Me" mixes Sam’s soulful lyrics & trumpet fills with Valentine's modern R&B groove to “encourage listeners to believe that giving love and inspiration is perhaps the greatest thing we can do for one another.” With so much talent and passion, Sam Trump continues to innovate and spread positivity throughout the Chicago music scene.
If you want to hear more about "Count On Me" and all of Sam Trump’s work, keep a look out for a new monthly partnership with our friend Sam that will bring you exclusive interviews and live performances from some of the most talented musicians in Chicago. Sam will be kicking off the Chibrations series very soon, so stay tuned, and check it out!
