samii: figuring it out
Francisco Espregueira
Via the mighty and revered 2000Black label Samii debuts with her 4-track EP entitled Figuring It Out. Produced by the stars that run 2000Black - Dego, Mr Mensah, Matt Lord and Kaidi Tatham - Samii expresses inspirations from her own experiences of love, loss and personal growth, with dreamy-like lyrics and a voice that flows smoothly and consciously.
In four beautifully crafted tracks Figuring It Out cuts across generic boundaries with ease and Samii deftly balances these moments of reflection and expression, to build a world that reveals itself. Either evoking a bittersweet nostalgia on low-slung “Spaced Out Summer Tours & Back Again”; or letting her voice soar on the majestic “Wake Me Up”. Figuring It Out is an outstanding debut, touching on the universal through Samii’s astute observations - an ode to self discovery. Available in vinyl, via 2000Black.
