“Hours,” the new single from singer-songwriter-violinist Sam Valdez, is a different turn from the 23-year-old Las Vegas native’s folk-tinted “Don’t Want to Be Yours Anymore.” Produced by Max Braverman, “Hours” is a glacial, minimalist electronic track with Valdez waxing dreamily about “the hold loss can have on us, while simultaneously being in love with someone who shares a similar experience.” She adds: “I wanted ‘Hours’ to convey the feeling of being aware of pain and the dependencies it can create, and learning to just give into it sometimes and then let it go.” Valdez’s debut EP is now scheduled for a 2018 release.
