"Laughing in the Wilderness” is the centrepiece of Samuel Virgo’s new artistic era — an alternative rap track laced with post-punk grit. Inspired heavily by the Skinty Fia sound of Fontaines D.C. and the melodic grit of Newdad. Jagged guitars meet stripped-back drums and emotionally raw vocals, delivering a sound that's incredibly introspective. Whether he's spitting over distorted basslines or crooning into the void, Samuel Virgo makes music for people looking for something real. He's already earned support from being played on BBC Introducing Sheffield , features on Record of the day & COLORSXSTUDIO, a set at The Alternative Escape Festival 2024 and playlisting from DMY and Ones to watch.

Laughing in the Wilderness draws inspiration from NewDad, Fontaines D.C., and the raw confessional energy of other indie icons. The song in its simplest form is a love song - about the eurphoria of losing yourself in your partners eyes and the intensity of that connection. “Laughing in the Wilderness” stands as his boldest statement yet: a sound that’s genre-defying and distinctly Samuel Virgo.
