Author: Anna Sky MagliolaPublished 9th Dec 2022
Sam Ryder has really captured the hearts of the UK this year, finishing second in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, and going on to release not one, but two successful follow-up songs, as well as two tours.
He thrilled fans with the announcement of his debut album called 'There's Nothing But Space, Man!', and it has now been released! The album includes his Eurovision entry 'Space Man', along with hits 'Somebody', and David Guetta and 'Sigala's, 'Living Without You'.
The album was due to come out on 18th November, but the release date was pushed back to allow Sam "time to catch up with family" and to "replenish energy".
Sam was counting down the days and hours to his album's release on his Instagram stories and once it had come out, he posted a compilation video of himself singing and some incredible moments from his career so far. He wrote: 'BIIIG NEWS! MY DEBUT ALBUM ‘THERE’S NOTHING BUT SPACE, MAN!’ IS OUT NOW 🤯
'Tons of love to everyone who has already picked up a copy! You’re the reason that this whole thing is possible and I’ll never forget that your encouragement, kindness & support is what got us here today 💛
'Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻'. (sic)
Fans can now get their hands on the album digitally as well as on CD, vinyl and cassette, with signed bundles also available.
Speaking about his album before it came out, Sam previously said: "This year for myself and our team has been one filled with so many blessings, opportunities and dreams coming to fruition.
"To create a body of work throughout this time representing aspects of our journey feels like the highest honour and a beautiful way to redirect the flow of energy back to the people who are making this whirlwind possible – you."
Watch Sam talk about working on 'Without You':
The album's release follows on from the success of Sam's song 'Somebody', which he wrote on the morning of the BRIT Awards. In an interview, he told us: "The spirits were high and we just wrote this song, and I wish we could release like a stem of the song of the backing vocals, because it's just us really shouting our heads off. It's nonsense, and it's still in the record."
Sam's album shares the name of his upcoming tour 'There's Nothing But Space, Man!' which starts in Belfast on 17th March 2023, ending in Brighton on 5th April 2023. This tour follows several live performances this summer, including appearing at the Jubilee Celebrations over the long weekend in June.
