From Eurovision to the Wild West, Sam Ryder is saddling up and riding into uncharted territory for his new music.

The mane-haired star has completed his album after moving to the US and created a bold new genre he calls frontier soul along the way.

Sam told me: Ive just handed in the album - on my birthday actually.

It feels like Ive handed in my homework.

It took about a year and a half to make, coupled with building a studio and moving to Nashville which was a real dream come true for me.

Something Ive dreamed of for a long time and I feel so honoured to be able to make it happen.

The move Stateside inspired Sam to go full John Wayne: I tapped into some old influences and songs which have shaped the record and Im so excited to share it with the world when the album drops.

The whole vibe of the record is what Im calling frontier soul which encapsulates my love for old western movies and sort of a desert sound, soul music.

The move meant he was also able to let go of old heartbreak which inspired song OH OK.

Speaking at Amazons Prime in a Box event he shared: I wrote OH OK about a past heartbreak of mine but it pertains to anyone going through something similar.

All of us try to make someone who used to be such an important part of our lives jealous when we move on, because we never really move on when we say we do.

This year Amazons Prime Day will last four days, running until Friday, and the Space Man singer revealed hes already got his eye on so much Lego and hell also be stocking up on quite a lot of saline solution to ensure his voice is on top form for his upcoming Wembley Arena gig.

Or if he gets saddle sore!

How to get Oasis tickets

Damon Albarn predicted Oasis reunion years ago

It clearly takes one BRITPOP legend to know another after Damon Albarn predicted the Oasis reunion two years ago.

The Blur man has called himself as prophetic referring to a 2023 interview where he said hed put money on the Gallaghers reuniting.

Damon told Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, The Oasis reunion? Two years ago I was prophetic when I said that they would do it and that the road was level. Well, you cant think that two brothers cant reconcile, sooner or later. Its a good thing, the way I see it.

Noel Gallagher is the real Oasis star as the band receives huge bump in sales

Meanwhile, whilst Liam Gallagher might be Oasis frontman its actually a Noel sung anthem that is their most played.

Dont Look Back In Anger has been revealed, by the PPL which licenses the use of recorded music, as the bands most played track on UK radio and TV in the 21st century.

Its followed by Wonderwall, Shes Electric, Roll With It and Little By Little perhaps thanks to Lidls advertising campaign!
