Program: Ace AIR Location: Ace Hotel New York Date of Stay: 08-20-17 Artist: Sam Himself
New York-based artist Sam Himself spent a night at Ace Hotel New York and while there, filmed this video for his song Out of Love. The clip features dancing and choreography by co-star Ashley Robicheaux. Sam sings:
What a strange dream Today falls to the floor We’re not like before We dropped tomorrow You only touch the door Tell me not to go There’s nothing I won’t do out of love
Sam Himself currently lives in New York City by way of Switzerland. Long before he made the U.S. his home, he fell in love with soul, blues, rock ‘n’ roll and country. Spending years creating his own style by merging these genres, the result is an eclectic Americana, unified by his distinct baritone and his guitar-based compositions. Sam released his debut EP Songs In D in March of 2017.
