    Very refreshing to hear a young singer who doesn't sing like Beyonce, Brandi, Rihanna or Jennifer Hudson... Nothing against those four but this style of singing is becoming a lost art. Thanks to this young lady Samara Joy it's not lost yet.

      My sentiments exactly...perfect diction, phrasing and the introduction of VERSES to classic songs. Samara Joy your STAR is shining brightly. My debut CD QUIETLY is 25 years this year and I explored 17 Ballads with VERSES. Thank you for exposing a new generation to when songs had depth and substance!!! Congratulations Lovely Lady...you are a JOY to behold.

    I was about to die from an overdose in my apartment in Miami all alone after so many different drugs…I went to grab my phone and I couldn’t even see what I pressed and out of no where UA-cam started and this song played. My heart was beating out of my chest and then the room turned white and I felt at peace. My heart slowed down and I survived. Jesus Christ is real people. He saved my life.

    "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most" is not an easy song to sing because of the dynamic range it requires and she did it easily. Her voice is a clear and crisp as Dakota Staton with the dynamic range of Sarah vaughan. I'm 67 years old and thought that I would die never to see this sort of talent again. This young lady blows me away. Her voice has gotten better since she's started.

      Perhaps the best YOUNG jazz singer. But Sheila Jordan is still alive - and performing AT 95!!!!!!!! Jordan, to be sure, always had a very small voice. She knew exactly what to do with it, however. And still does. I last heard her in New York City a few months ago. You can't compare Samara with Sheila. You can't compare anyone with Sheila. She is iconic (overused word, but not for Sheila Jordan), inimitable, and peerless. Samara Joy belongs to another realm of singing. But I won't belabor this. She is just splendid, a true pleasure to listen to.

Anyway I love voice, and you are beautiful. I'm Italian, German, English, French, and Spanish + this and that; I'm a mut. I need the help of a great singer to get me going again. I'm now almost 65 and miss the days when I played in clubs; 1974-1991. Why just those yrs.? My job zapped playing because of the hours. Now I'm retired and hungry to play, and want to build my skills & fingers back. Jazz: I still feel in my bone.
