Sam Tompkins, one of the UK’s most compelling voices, continues his re-introduction with the immediate, infectious, '80s-influenced new single, 'Body to Body'.
Mirroring the way Sam was drawn to nostalgic uptempo music growing up, ‘Body to Body’ overcomes an inner conflict which Sam dubs “British guilt”, that he faced in moving on from his Dad’s passing.
“It’s a song about trying to find that thing in life that really gets you going,” Sam says. “For a long time, I felt like I couldn’t have fun or enjoy myself because it would give me so much guilt. Body to Body’ in particular is about working through that guilt and really finding a new lust for life.”

With ‘Body to Body’, Sam Tompkins continues to move confidently into his next chapter – one defined by emotional honesty, renewed energy, and a deeper sense of joy, connection, and self-discovery. The track signals a fresh sonic direction, shaped in part by a new creative partnership with producer Humble The Great.
Sam’s return has been met with open arms as previous single ‘Beauty Queen’ surpassed 1 million global streams, as well as BBC Radio 1 support and media support from The Independent, Dork, Official Charts & more. He also made a triumphant return to the stage with sold-out shows at Hoxton Hall and Concorde 2 in Brighton (a Jack Daniels & Coke partnership), with over 1,000 fans signing up in just three days for the intimate 250-capacity London show.
