Signed to Kehlani’s TSNMI imprint, Samaria has a similar sound to the breakthrough artist but comes with her own point of view.

The entire EP seems to be following the different stages of a relationship as the she begins to realize that she’s not getting everything she needs out of it.  The lyrics are honest and confident in a way that doesn’t come off too girl-powery to be taken seriously.  The production is fairly dark throughout and some of the tracks can blend thanks to their similarity and Samaria’s vocal delivery, but the short total length of the project and songs that are more uptempo help to break those moments up.  There are moments when her voice strains for the upper notes, but it never breaks.  In fact, her vocals really shine on songs like Something Better and Antisocial, where she takes the register down an octave and finds a fuller sound in the delivery.

This is a good introduction to a new artist and it makes us curious as to how she will develop in the future.
