mxdwn Premiere: Sam Hart Debuts Ethereal New Single “Thirty and Thriving”

Canadian singer songwriter Sam Hart has returned with the release of an ethereal new single entitled, “Thirty and Thriving.” The new track follows the release of Hart’s previous song, “She Leaves You” which arrived in November 2022.

The new song, “Thirty and Thriving” was written by Hart, produced and mixed by TOMPA (who has previously worked with Silverstein) and mastered by Joao Carvalho. The song’s introspective lyricism explore gendered biases, the double standards that often force unrealistic expectations on women.

The song opens with intricate piano before fading gracefully into Hart’s delicately powerful vocals, lamenting the “deadlines” that aging women are faced with in today’s society. The chorus is goosebump-inducing, featuring lush harmonizations and melodious vocal lines that allow Hart to showcase her undeniable musical talent. Fans of Sara Bareilles or Lizzy McAlpine are sure to enjoy what Hart has to offer.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the single, Hart explained, “I’ve been holding onto “Thirty and Thriving” for so long and I’m so happy to finally let it out into the world. Writing this song has truly helped me shift my perspective in so many incredible ways. I used to be so afraid to share how I felt about getting older and I feel like this topic is so relatable, especially for women. Now, I can finally say that I’m so thankful to be able to age alongside my friends and family and open new chapters of my life. Through this song, I’ve come to realize the only way to succeed is to keep trying.”
