Great writing, arranging and performing! The percussion added layers of textures, the bass danced with an interesting tone and her voice smiled along with her! I felt her and believed her and was lifted up!
This is one of the best performances I´ve ever had the pleasure of seeing and hearing. Samantha is my choice of best new artist of our time. Berklee must be so proud. Kudos to the bass and percussion, equally talented.
Old Berklee grad here (1981), very proud to see the continuous flood of talent that is attracted to and who refine their incredible abilities at my alma mater!:)
I seen Samantha and her sister in the Edmonton International Airport playing.. Never have I enjoyed waiting in an airport. Love everything about this girl and her music.
Samantha !!!! voçê é tudo de bom !!!!! Eu, minha familia e amigos somos seus fâs !!!!! Sempre ouvimos suas músicas e videos no carro !!! Te amamos !!! Venha ao Brasil !!!!
Incredible -- the sweetness of Suzanne Vega and the strength of Christina Aguilera and the sultriness of Selena all in one magnetic charismatic package -- wunderbar! This voice has both the poignance of a morning faun and the cutting edge of a diamond drill. If I were her manager I would totally focus on the voice and arrange/amplify it's strengths to the max. This voice should be strongly strongly amplified and suitably backed up and counterpointed -- not drowned out or overwhelmed -- by background musicians. Even her own excellent guitar playing is secondary to it (Christina Aguilera is not a guitarist, after all, she is a singer; and when Karen Carpenter came out from behind the drums she became one of the most celebrated and greatest singers in pop history -- a singer must make love to the audience through the microphone, and not be blocked in her connection to it by the instrument.) I would also like to see changes in outfits for the strong range this perfomer has. From nightclub slinky to colorful folksy "peasant dress" (her current strong suit) to elegant evening gown with long gloves. The range that Lady Gaga and Linda Ronstadt attempt, neither one of them with Samantha's sophisticated classical looks. But the voice is the monster in the room. This voice has the intimacy for a small club and the power for an amphitheater and can slide back and forth between the two in dazzling virtuoso polish. The dry edge reeks of bluesy character, and everything else works perfectly. Not to mention her extremely charismatic looks of course which are extraordinary (this from a fifty-year psychic face reader) with the power of the Germanic-European slightly elongated perfectly formed symmetry highlighted by the striking HUGE (solid gold in and of themselves) eyes and noble cheekbones and slightly protruding (daintily pugnacious) lower lip along with the slightly rounded mysterious sultriness of the Asian Filipina. A rare and powerful combination, indeed: East and West, like Christina (half German, half Latina) and Astrud Gilberto ("Girl from Ipanema" -- half German, half Latina) and Michael Jackson and Iman and Selena and Sade and others who embody a mixed global world look for mass popular appeal. In my humble opinion, this lady must be marketed aggressively and high end at once. Possibly both to Filpino/Asian TV (does she know any good Tagalog songs like Lea Salonga would sing?) as well as certainly to Hollywood/New York and/or major quasi-Indie high-end producers. (Is Herb Alpert of A&M still on the job?) In my humble opinion, although this lady will always be a great and popular musician, image-wise, she must be groomed for stardom immediately. Through playing the star (a bit more high-end elegance -- now and then, not all the time, just as Linda Ronstadt did with "What's New"'s Nelson Riddle sounds and image -- by playing the nightclub vamp superstar now and then, belting out her own and classic pop songs in her own powerfully edgy sweet style she can, in my humble opinion, become a major star. And should. Because she's got it.
Does anyone know of where I could find the tab for this song?? Or even just someone doing a cover of it? I'm in love and I can't figure out how to play it!
Someone needs to sign this girl to contract. She has star power. She has the talent the look and everything.
Thank you so much for posting this! I am so grateful that I was able to work with such an amazing team!
