Australian-born singer-songwriter SAMM! is carving out a unique space in the alt-pop landscape—one built on radical honesty, emotional depth, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. With her debut single "In My Feelings" just released last week and an EP in the vault, she's proving that vulnerability isn't a weakness, but a powerful form of connection.
"In My Feelings" represents SAMM!'s playful, confident side—a song about desire that she describes as capturing "the thrill and chaos" of wanting something and getting it. Recorded in Los Angeles and accompanied by a visually striking music video filmed in Medellín, Colombia, the track showcases her ability to blend fun, sexy energy with thoughtful artistic vision. "I wanted to make sure it was a fun song that people could vibe to," she explains, noting that recording it in less than two sessions at NRG Recording Studios, keeping it accessible rather than overly personal.
But beneath the surface-level confidence lies an artist shaped by profound loss and resilience. SAMM! lost her older brother before he even reached the age of 18, under tragic circumstances when she was just a child. Shortly after, her mother moved away, unable to cope with the grief. Raised primarily by her father and brothers in a household where affection wasn't freely expressed, SAMM! found her emotional outlet in music.
"Music has always been something that I could turn to feel something, whether to relate to something or just escape," she reflects. From childhood performances of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion ballads to discovering hip-hop through her brother's collection, music became her language for understanding love, loss, and heartbreak before she experienced them firsthand.
That early heartbreak instilled in SAMM! both a deep empathy and an understanding of life's fragility. "I had to learn to understand why," she says of her brother's passing. "I had to learn to be strong from such a young age." Her brother's advice to "never be a sheep" continues to guide her—she doesn't conform to what society may tell us who to be or what to do but rather paving her own way through, truly understanding, learning, caring amongst many other traits SAMM! embodies.
This philosophy extends to her current independent status. Fresh to the music world, an unsigned artist without management, SAMM! has worked so passionately having her hand in all things creative that are attached to her as an Artist. "I'm okay with being uncomfortable to make others feel comfortable," she explains. "I'm okay to possibly be judged for what I'm saying or showing." She describes herself as "unafraid"—willing to explore themes of heartbreak, self-reflection, and strength with unflinching honesty.
Despite her confident exterior, SAMM! admits to being naturally introverted. A Lone Ranger, reflecting her comfort with solitude. "I'm usually by myself, I'm always kind of doing my own thing," she notes. But this introversion fuels her artistry, allowing her the space for deep self-reflection.
With an unreleased EP of 5 soul-touching, rabbit hole-peeking, love and heartbreak songs in the vault. SAMM! is focused on connecting with listeners who might feel similarly isolated. Her greatest fear isn't failure—it's reaching the end of her life and asking "what if." "If I can be kind of a voice to people who are afraid to speak up," she says, "that is where it stems from—wanting to be able to know that you aren't alone."
For SAMM!, success isn't measured by fame, but in genuine human connection. "If there's one, two, three people that can relate to that, where I made them feel less lonely, that would mean more to me than anything." It's this authentic approach that positions her as an artist to watch—someone unafraid to bring her whole self to the music, imperfections and all.

ON THE RISE

NETHERLANDS — August 26, 2026 — Brook Lynn is stepping into a new chapter with “Love Your Enemy,” an atmospheric alternative pop song that turns an intensely personal battle with anxiety into a message of self-acceptance. Written after her America’s Got Talent auditions, the song captures the internal conflict of facing the person who can be hardest to silence: yourself.
Built around cinematic production and emotionally restrained vocals, “Love Your Enemy” explores the disconnect between appearing fine in public and confronting difficult thoughts in private. The song’s central message is reflected in its chorus, where Brook Lynn sings about being “my own worst company” before arriving at its most hopeful realization: “They say, ‘Love your enemy,’ / So I’m learning how to love me.”
For Brook Lynn, that “enemy” is anxiety. Rather than presenting it as something that simply disappears, the song examines what it means to live with those thoughts while refusing to let them dictate what comes next.
“I always want to give a hopeful message in every song,” Brook Lynn explains. “I always first want to explain what is happening in your head and what you feel, and then, at the end, give a message that you can get out of this, and that anxiety doesn’t have to hold you back from all the things you want to achieve in your life.”
That message became especially significant when Brook Lynn made the decision to perform “Love Your Enemy” on America’s Got Talent. Known by many viewers for her stripped-back cover performances, she recognized that performing an original song on one of television’s biggest stages carried a different kind of risk. But she also knew she could not continue forward without showing audiences the artist behind the covers.
“I just thought it was really important to also show the world that I’m not just a cover singer,” she says. “I do want people to know that I write songs and I want to be an artist and put that out there.”
Brook Lynn performed “Love Your Enemy” during the America’s Got Talent quarterfinals, bringing the song’s story of anxiety and self-doubt directly to a massive live audience. Her journey on the show ended there, but the response made one thing clear: listeners wanted to hear more. Fans connected not only with her voice, but with the honesty behind the performance and the willingness to speak openly about emotions many people struggle to acknowledge themselves.
“I do want to be that person with my music as well for other people,” Brook Lynn says, describing her desire to write about real experiences and feelings. “I always want to be really real with everyone, like talk about deeper stuff, not surface level.”
“Love Your Enemy” arrives as Brook Lynn looks ahead to Tales From The Woods, an upcoming EP intended to introduce listeners to a broader picture of who she is as an artist. With only two original songs currently released, she says she is excited to share more music and continue developing the sound and emotional world introduced through “Love Your Enemy.”
The song is not a conclusion to Brook Lynn’s story. It is the beginning of a more open one—one where anxiety can be acknowledged without being allowed to take control, and where the feelings people are often afraid to say out loud can finally have a voice.
Listen to “Love Your Enemy,” which received promotional support from Starlight PR.
Brook Lynn creates music that feels intimate yet powerful, cinematic yet emotionally exposed. Blending atmospheric alternative pop with minimalist visual storytelling, her work explores vulnerability, isolation, emotional tension and human connection through a distinctly modern lens.
Raised in Wilp, a small town in the Netherlands, Brook Lynn grew up surrounded by silence, nature and isolation. Music became a private emotional outlet and a way to process feelings that were difficult to explain out loud. What began through stripped-back online performances evolved into a growing global audience drawn to her honesty and emotional depth.
For Brook Lynn, music is never just about being heard. It is about being understood.
