Sam And The Womp’s latest single, “Come We Play,” delivers an irresistible blend of Afro-dancehall energy and the band’s signature brass-driven sound, crafting the perfect soundtrack for summer. The single, a collaboration with reggae MC Natty Campbell, bursts with dancehall flair, highlighting the group’s trademark style. The brassy riffs weave seamlessly with pulsating beats, setting the scene for a dancefloor anthem designed to make people move. Sam And The Womp (fronted by Sam Ritchie) has always excelled at creating high-energy, genre-blurring tracks, and “Come We Play” is no exception.
The rhythmic energy of the song is instantly infectious. From the bold brass intro to the hypnotic refrain of “Wind it / Come wind it,” “Come We Play” calls listeners to the dancefloor with undeniable urgency. Natty Campbell’s dynamic vocal delivery complements the vibrant instrumental and lyrics centering around dancehall culture and its celebratory vibe. Lines like “Mek di gyal dem come / Mek di dancehall ram” echo the communal spirit of the genre, where music brings people together to dance, party, and celebrate life.
Sam Ritchie’s trumpet playing stands out as a key element that pushes the track into new territory. His brassy horn lines inject an extra layer of vibrancy, staying true to the band’s eclectic sound. It's a song designed for festival stages and summer block parties, where the audience becomes as much a part of the music as the performers themselves.
With “Come We Play,” Sam And The Womp have crafted another enjoyable hit. Their first release in over a year, it’s a stark reminder of why fans fell in love with them in the first place.
