Sam Hunt shares how he created his ‘Locked Up’ EP and how his music is changing with his life. He highlights how “Outskirts” has blown up during his tour, new country artists and more!
Sam Hunt:
I don’t know about that. Maybe if Keith and I both two-on-one the kangaroo, we might be able to take him. I didn’t learn any skills while I was locked up.
Tetris Kelly:
We caught up with Sam Hunt about his ‘Locked Up’ EP and tour and the newer country artists that even he’s nervous to be in front of.
Sam Hunt:
The four songs are put together on an EP, but they really are part of a project I’ve been putting out for about two years now. One song at a time.
Tetris Kelly:
How is the ‘Locked Up’ EP different from your past work? What makes this creative process special?
Sam Hunt:
They reflect this season of my life that I’ve been in. Getting older and writing from different perspectives now than I did early on. When you’re finished with the project. You’re always looking forward to that next one. So I’m already on to the next one in my mind, but I’m happy that these songs are out.
Tetris Kelly:
You can’t be there yet, you just put the EP out! And with “Outskirts” being a top five hit on country radio, how has Sam been loving it on tour?
Sam Hunt:
It’s been great. It’s really been fun to watch. You know, we get our die-hard fans who know about the songs when they come out and they’ll sing the songs back at the live show. And then you hear the response grow when the song at radio has success.
Keep watching to learn more!
