Following the resonant success of his independent comeback single, Sam Fischer graces us with ‘Moonshine’, a track steeped in country influences. This latest offering sees the Australian songwriting sensation continue his journey of crafting musical beauty, weaving together personal introspection and raw emotion.
‘Moonshine’ is a fitting addition to Fischer’s already beloved catalogue, a collection of songs adored worldwide for their heartfelt and deeply personal approach. Much like his earlier impactful release, ‘LOVELIFE’, this new work delves into the intricate tapestry of human relationships and the depths of emotion.
The inspiration for ‘Moonshine’ sprang from Fischer’s time spent in Nashville, a city whose rich musical history inevitably draws in artists from across the globe. He was there to write for other musicians as well as himself, and clearly, the spirit of Music City left an indelible mark.
Fischer humorously shares the genesis of the song, admitting, “Writing songs is a weird and funny thing because, being totally honest, I just really wanted to write a song called 'Moonshine' because I thought it would be a great title. I made up a story for it and hopefully when you listen to it, you're able to relate something from your own life.”
He also acknowledged the shift in his sound, stating, "It's a little different for me and leans more into the country world which honestly, was inevitable at some point for me. I've been writing in Nashville on and off for the past 8 years and have been in a perpetual honeymoon phase for the whole time. Not only that but I've written for Keith Urban, Kane Brown jumped on a remix of ‘This City’ and I'm touring this year around the world with Brett Young, so it was about time I put a song into the world that honours and gives back the immense amount of love I've always been shown there. With all that said, time to drink up, cheers to 'Moonshine!”
With an impressive two billion streams to his name, Sam Fischer has firmly cemented his status as one of Australia’s most accomplished contemporary songwriters. His breakout track, ‘This City’, became a global phenomenon, securing a place in the UK Top 20 for eleven weeks and achieving multi-platinum certifications across various territories.
