Audio / Sam Hunt explains why the four songs on his new EP go well together.

“The four songs really go with all the songs I’ve put over the last couple and a half years, but I didn’t want to put them all together on a project considering all those songs have already been out. So, these songs do go together, but they also go together with all 10 songs when you add ‘em up. But I had 3, let’s see, ‘Outskirts’ has been out, but I had three new songs finished, but had I had all the other seven finished, I would’ve have put ‘em all out together, but (ha) this is the first time that I had more than just one at a time finished, so I decided to put them out in an EP form.”
Audio / Sam Hunt talks about what he hopes for fans listening to his new Locked Up EP.

“These four songs reflect, I don’t know, the last three or four years of my life and that season I’ve been in, that writing season, and I hope they’ll listen to them with the other seven songs as well, because they all go together. Yeah, I hope that they can appreciate all the things about these songs that they might have appreciated about songs in the past. There are some themes I touch on that I’ve touched on in the past and some new direction, but overall the sound, I think, is pretty consistent with what I’ve done in the past. It’s a chapter that I’m closing and hopefully will start the next one soon after.”
