Samuel K. Golden Releases First EP, ‘Footsteps: Love And Sweetness’

Poet-turned-artiste Samuel K. Golden believes that his work, rooted in the authentic self, and delivered with an inner voice that is defined by its honesty will linger in the minds of fans long after he has departed this earth.

He recently released ‘Countdown to Our Time’, a song which is the first release of an EP dubbed “Footsteps: Love and Sweetness”.

“My romantic poetry drove me in this direction to turn loving words into romantic music. I received both fan and industry excitement about the sound of my music and the soft message of love,” he said.

In a world which is dotted with armed conflicts, online hate speech targeting immigrants and high divorce rates, Samuel Golden has a simple but quaint philosophy: love conquers all. Golden calls this radical philosophy a “lake of love,” a vision of art as contribution rather than commodity.

“I believe there is still sweetness in the world. I would like to think my poetic music adds to the lake of love,” he said,

Golden’s journey isn’t just about making music—it’s about transforming words meant for the page into songs that live and breathe. He is aided in his musical endeavours by a production team consisting of aspiring young talented up and comers, Michael Winters, Clifford Coats, and Roger Rodriguez.

He has written love poems for years, a ritual which evolved into two published poetry books, and now, a debut album that carries the same name as his second collection.

A part-time artistic force who continues to hold down a steady nine-to-five, Golden has continued to hone his skills during open mic nights at local music restaurants and bars in the Washington area in the USA.

Now, he is ready to take the next step to promote his introspective album. Each track is refined with patience, an extension of his belief that timing matters as much as talent. Golden describes his sound simply as “alternative,” but that label hardly captures its breadth.

“I love music. I love the way it makes me feel. I love being able to transfer my thoughts into lyrical expressions with melodies that resonate to something meaningful. I love seeing people react. Making music helps to make me feel whole. Bring love to others and seeing their joy is next level for me,” he said.
