[Jam] Sam And The Womp – Come We Play

Posted by Marcus Daly - September 25, 2024

Sam And The Womp are back with their infectious new single, “Come We Play,” and it’s exactly the vibe you didn’t know you needed. The track blends Afro-dancehall rhythms with their signature brass grooves, creating a rhythm that just makes you want to move. Brass riffs punch through the beat, while reggae MC Natty Campbell adds his flavor, making this track impossible to ignore. It’s the kind of tune you blast when the sun’s out, and it hits just right.

Sam Ritchie, the trumpeter behind Sam And The Womp, found his inspiration for the horn line one morning, humming the melody into his phone before it ever saw the studio. That spontaneous creativity is the kind of energy they thrive on, crafting tracks with friends and seeing where the vibes take them. A few years back, Sam relocated to Amsterdam, and it seems this shift, alongside Natty Campbell’s own move to the Netherlands, brought a fresh energy to their collaboration.

With a UK Number 1 single, “Bom Bom,” and millions of streams under their belt, the band has played everywhere from Glastonbury to Wembley, proving their party-starting skills again and again.
