Having both long admired each other’s work, the acclaimed artists finally connected, forging a powerful new collaboration.
“Better Than The Floor” is included on an extended edition of Barber’s acclaimed new EP, Music for the Soul, available now HERE. The project begins an unforgettable new chapter for Barber following the breakout success of his RIAA Gold-certified 2024 debut album, Restless Mind. Co-written by Barber and produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Ryan Hewitt (The Lumineers, Noah Kahan) and Joe Becker at studios in Nashville, TN and Bozeman, MT, the EP sees Barber chronicling how he got here and where he’s headed next on such eloquent, empathetic new songs as “Same Sad Shit”, the fame-wrestling title track, “Music for the Soul,” and the deeply moving “Home Tonight,” all available now alongside official live performance videos streaming now on YouTube HERE. First teased via the fan-first platform, Sam Barber Files, an evolving digital space offering a rare, unfiltered look into Barber’s world with unreleased content, personal visuals, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into his creative process, “Home Tonight” was met by immediate praise from such outlets as Country Swag, which hailed the track as “ti o jẹ ohun kan ti o ṣe akọsilẹ nipa ife ati iṣoro. Introspective, emotional, and honest.”
Music also includes the soul-baring anthem, “Man of the Year,” available everywhere now along with an official live performance video streaming HERE. With its cascade of shadowy textures and darkly hypnotic guitar tones, “Man of the Year” received applause from publications such as Billboard, which named it one of “6 Must-Hear New Country Songs,” writing, “This gritty track, written solely by Barber, finds him pondering the existential anguish he sees threaded throughout world events, and emotionally embedded in people around him. “Is it in my mind or are we all just sinking?” he muses, his quietly commanding voice ringing out over sparse but captivating production, and shedding light on a generation’s anxieties and fears.”
