Earlier this year, Byron Bay Alt-Pop singer/songwriter Sam Buckingham released her phenomenal third album Dear John. Debuting at #2 on the National AIR Independent Album Charts, the album has resonated with many thanks to the honest and soul-baring songwriting from this acclaimed artist – as heard in songs such as the powerful title track single Dear John, and message of female empowerment in the anthemic ‘Something More’.
Following a national sell-out album tour, Buckingham releases another captivating song from the album in the gripping ‘Rich Gir’l. Says Sam, “‘Rich Girl’ is about letting go of expectations, external pressures and people who aren’t good for you. Being a rich girl is the opposite of being a good girl. In this song I’m saying “I make my own rules. I live my own life. I’m done with trying to please everyone else – I’m here to be my best self.“”
As one of the standout songs of Buckingham’s current live set, the line “I’m sure you don’t want me to do the things I do… I’m even more sure that I don’t answer to you” often gets a great crowd response, now you can hear ‘Rich Girl’ live, along with the rest of the album and more, when Sam hits the East Coast to continue her Dear John album tour over the coming weeks. Don’t miss.
