If music could hold your hand, Sam Garrett’s One Family would be the gentle squeeze that reminds you you’re not alone. Dropped on May 1st as the first single from his upcoming fifth studio album (out July 1st), this track is pure heart, wrapped in harmony and delivered with the kind of soulful sincerity most artists only dream of reaching.
Following a sold-out European tour and a live album that actually captured the magic of being in the room, Sam returns with a message that couldn’t be more timely or timeless: we are One Family. Simple words, yes — but in his hands, they become a mantra, a balm, a warm breeze on a heavy day.
“One Family is a reminder that beneath our differences, we are connected by love,” Sam says. And honestly? You feel that in every note. There’s no preaching here — just an invitation to remember something that’s always been true: we belong to each other.
The lyrics don’t push or posture. They glow — soft but strong. It’s the kind of song you can imagine echoing around a campfire, playing in yoga classes, or drifting out of headphones on a train as someone watches the world go by, feeling just a little more hopeful.
Musically, One Family is indie folk with a folk-pop lean, steeped in acoustic warmth and that trademark Sam Garrett tenderness. You’ll hear the echoes of his heroes — the wisdom of Bob Dylan, the spiritual undertones of Bob Marley, and the melodic grace of The Beatles — but it’s all unmistakably his.
The production is intentionally spacious, giving room for the message to breathe. There’s a naturalness here — a kind of easy, earthbound elegance — that feels both old-soul and refreshingly now. Think: harmonium hums, soft guitar work, layered harmonies that feel like hugs.
Fans call his sound heart music, and yeah — that fits. It’s music that doesn’t just sound good, it feels good. Like nourishment. Like medicine that tastes like honey. There’s no ego here, just presence. And presence is powerful.
It’s not background music. It’s intentional music. And that’s rare.
The release is paired with a touching music video, further grounding the message in real connection. Expect scenes that make you smile through your tears — glimpses of humanity that speak louder than any storyline could. It’s about showing the everyday sacred — the quiet beauty in being together, however imperfectly.
From his 2014 debut Be Easy to now, Sam’s been on a soul-deep journey through sound and self. Born into a musical family, raised on truth-telling icons, and shaped by nature, mindfulness, and a whole lot of road miles, he’s built a career that feels less like a product and more like a path. One walked with barefoot humility and a whole lot of heart.
With One Family, he takes another step — this time toward the collective. This isn’t just Sam’s story anymore. It’s ours.
If you're looking for a track to add to your “feel something real” playlist, One Family is your next repeat-worthy listen. It's music for sunrise meditations, long walks, emotional resets, or anytime you need to remember that love still matters — and always will.
Sam Garrett isn’t just releasing a song. He’s starting a conversation. And it’s one worth joining.
