Sam Evian - IDGAF

 

Sam Evian, the project of New York-based musician, songwriter, and producer, Sam Owens, will release his sophomore album, You, Forever, on June 1st via Saddle Creek. Full of romance, You, Forever is Owens’s first foray into a more soul-baring sensibility. Following the release of the slow burning lead single, “Health Machine,” Sam Evian now presents dreamy album opener, “IDGAF,” which explores the notion of embracing one’s passions and pursuing one’s goals no matter the impositions in their path. Owens discusses how the song came to fruition on a sleepless night:

"I've always been a night owl, but lately that tendency has led me down the path of full-on insomnia. The insomnia is exacerbated by screen time, media time, coffee time, and time, in general. In bed, my insecurities linger and the kaleidoscope of anxiety starts to pull me into a strange, trance-like state. 'IDGAF' is one of my 5am songs. Sometimes when I'm deep in the well of nonsleep, I get up and write. I don't even remember doing it. The same thing happened with ‘Cactus’ on my last record. I think I tried to write a sort of mantra to coax myself into sleep. It must have worked."
