Ryding to the frontier of soul

SAM SADDLES UP WITH NEW ALBUM

- 

FROM Eurovision to the Wild West, Sam Ryder is riding into uncharted territory with 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: "I've just handed in the album - on my birthday actually.

"It feels like I've 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.
