Samantha Harvey Releases Debut EP ‘Please’

Singer songwriter and social media phenomenon Samantha Harvey is certainly taking 2018 by storm. After topping the iTunes pre-order chart and shooting straight in at #2 on the iTunes singles chart, Samantha returns today with the release of her major-label debut EP ‘Please’. The EP is out via Virgin EMI Records in the UK and Capitol Records in the USA.

The five-track EP was produced by Red Triangle and features the lead track ‘Please’, ‘Happy And You Know It’, ‘When It Comes Down’ (written by Stephen Feigenbaum, known for his work with Kanye West and Alessia Cara), and ‘Never Dance Again’, as well as a special acoustic version of ‘Please’. On ‘Never Dance Again’, Samantha worked with Grammy and Emmy winning songwriter Diane Warren who has written for the likes of Beyonce, Whitney Houston and Christina Aguilera.

Please‘, about the yearning to reignite a lost love, follows in the footsteps of Samantha’s self-released ‘Forgive Forget‘, which debuted in the Top 3 of the iTunes chart last summer. ‘Please’ has already been added to some of Spotify’s biggest playlists including New Music Friday, The Pop List and Happy Pop Hits, and has also been added to the Breaking Pop playlist on Apple Music, and the Hot Singles & Pop Right Now playlists on Amazon Music.
