With over a billion streams under his belt, Sam Fischer collaborates with fellow Australian pop sensation Amy Shark on his latest tender track 'High On You'.
Acoustic guitars form the gentle underbelly of the track, which celebrates finding joy in relationships during turbulent times. Ethereal vocal harmonies between Sam and Amy are the star attraction and the song bolsters Sam's momentum as an artist to watch for the year ahead.
Sam said: "Finally, at long last, the mental health is at bay and while the sadness is sleeping, I present to you with happy tears in my eyes, a sweet, sentimental, introspective, heart-melting duet with Australian angel Amy Shark, a love song called High On You. In all seriousness though, I'm honoured to be able to call Amy a friend and do this song with her, she's a one of a kind talent, her pen is pure gold and I've been a fan for ages so this is going to be a special time."
Amy said: "I've been listening to Sam's music for a few years and really loved the song he did with Demi especially. My manager was playing a song in his office, and I heard it from the studio and was like who the hell is that, and he said "it's a Sam Fischer" demo that he wants you on. I didn't even think, I just said yes. The song is epic and I'm proud to add some Shark to it."
Sam's debut single This City currently stands at over 500 million worldwide streams and 4 million worldwide sales and stayed in the UK Top 20 for 11 weeks. The track is also 4x platinum in Australia, platinum in the UK and Gold in the US, New Zealand and Switzerland. Sam also performed the track on US TV, including Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel and The Late Late Show with James Corden.
His duet with Demi Lovato What Other People Say has sold over 1 million copies and saw him perform the track on Ellen alongside Demi Lovato. Earlier this year he completed his first live tours in the UK and US, including a packed-out London Garage performance, and recently supported Ashe on tour in the UK and Europe.
