Let’s cut through the digital static and talk about an artist who gives exactly zero fucks about your playlist algorithms. Samuel Campoli is back with “Every Time,” a declaration of independence wrapped in a shimmering rock anthem. This Brooklyn-based lone wolf is throwing a concoction of pure artistic conviction into the void.
Campoli is a one-man arsenal. He records, performs, and mixes nearly everything himself from his home studio, with the occasional assist from his friend Adam Lytle. “Every Time” is born from a spark on the guitar, an idea that’s nurtured and followed wherever it wants to go.
But the real power here isn’t in the sound—it’s in the attitude. Campoli’s philosophy is a middle finger to the trend-chasers and the aux-cord complainers. He says it straight up: “I have zero interest in appeasing these types of complaints… I’m doing what I think is right.” This defiant, resentful energy towards the music industry’s fad-of-the-week cycle is the fuel that fires this engine. He’s not making concessions for anyone, and that honesty is in every second of “Every Time.” It’s liberating to hear an artist so completely in charge of his own vision.
“Every Time” is a shot across the bow, the first glimpse of a larger EP coming December 6. It’s built on a love for “tropical psychedelic music” and a deep belief that art should follow instinct, not fashion. Samuel Campoli is the real deal—building a world defined by warmth, honesty, and just the right amount of weirdness. If you’re tired of the same old formulaic slop, crank this up.
