With a modern mix of electro pop and soul vibes, this track from UK newcomer Uncool Sam reminds me just a little bit of John the Blind. A bouncy groove, a fluttering melody, and some keyboard hooks come together to tell a story about the importance of being yourself.

"Forgetting Me" explores the empty spaces that emerge after a relationship breaks down—the painful, slow-motion separation of two souls that were once intertwined. But through the grief, Uncool Sam finds a way to emphasize the positive. We all may have regrets, but in the end it is better to have lost love than to never have had it at all. This captivating anthem to the aftermath of a failed romance will leave you with an appreciation for human resiliency—we suffer, we learn from our mistakes, and we move on.

When you split the atom
There's a chain reaction
It can never be the same again

[The name] came from my nephews calling me it, emphasizing the pun. But it became an idea, a message to myself to let go. It’s a mantra man, to shed the things that hold you back. — Uncool Sam
