< Back Press Articles The Other Side Reviews Samsara Invisible (2023) Meld the power of Adele with the eclecticism of Kate Bush, the intimacy of Tori Amos, the charming flair of Stevie Nicks and a dash of Taylor Swift, what do you have? You have Samsara, of course. Hailing from the UK, singer-songwriter Samsara traipses across jazz, pop, country and rock with her evocative vocals and melodies. From fronting a teenage band at age 15 to singing with stars like Don Henley, Steve Winwood, and Bryan Adams, and now releasing music as a solo artist, Samsara is an exciting artist to say the least. After leaving music behind because of a tumultuous abusive marriage where her husband wouldn’t allow her to sing, Samsara steps up to prove she may have taken a step back, but music is in her soul. Reaching audiences across the globe with chart-topping songs like ‘Love For All Time’, ‘Without You’ and ‘Hard To Love’, Samsara is difficult to ignore and we’re taking a gander into her single ‘Invisible’. Released in 2022, ‘Invisible’ followed her single ‘Anything’ and brings listeners a soft, soothing country sound. Easily placed on any stage in Nashville, ‘Invisible’ has a toe-tapping element reminiscent of acts like Reba McIntyre and Tori Amos. Yet, while there is a powerful mainstream country sound, Samsara’s obscure vocals add a unique tinge to the ballad. Rich, confident and warm, her voice pulls you tight in a big hug while the instrumentation wraps you both in a comfortable blanket. Interestingly, while the song has a simplistic acoustic soundscape, the single is kaleidoscopic with a charming harmony in the arrangement. A natural storyteller, Samsara shares reflective songs of life, love and journeys. ‘Invisible’ uses an intimate personal narrative to resonate with people who “feel invisible”. Yet, while there is a melancholic tone, hopefulness also exists in the moving single. In addition to the single, Samsara released a lyric music video for ‘Invisible’. You can view the video below or on her YouTube channel. For more from Samsara, check out her Facebook , Twitter , Instagram and Spotify .

< Back Press Articles Less Than 1,000 Followers Samsara’s “Invisible” is delicate country pop at its finest Samsara is a lovely singer from the United Kingdom, currently based in the United States, who’s already got an impressive run of singles and accolades under her belt. The young artist started her career as a backing vocalist for acts such as Bryan Adams and Don Henley and now is a star in her own right. Her single “Invisible” is, perhaps, the epitome of how powerful her songs can be. Bandcamp Spotify Facebook Twitter TikTok ORDER NOW INVISIBLE BY SAMSARA ON BANDCAMP samsarasings.bandcamp.com Invisible, by Samsara track by Samsara The talented singer’s strengths rely on her honest, sometimes brutal, lyrics that are inspired by life’s deep pains and joys – and also, her cats. Spawning a wide variety of genres, from indie pop to jazz and country, Samsara’s got over twenty singles and an EP under her name; all within the past two years. Her writing is incredibly personal and her vocal performance is astounding in each release, proving herself as a powerhouse storyteller and songwriter. “I think a lot of musicians feel invisible and unheard, so the song has resonated with many musicians. It also resonates with women who feel unseen and unheard. I’ve had multiple people tell me it is the story of their lives. I have also wanted to let listeners come to their own conclusions about the meaning of the song.” SAMSARA “Invisible”, tells a tale of hopelessness, and her delivery is so on-point that she goes through the motions of pain and loss and takes us with her every step of the way. With lyrics that go from ‘ I’m so lost and all alone, and I don’t have a clue where I’m going to ‘ to ‘ I know I’m broken, but I think I can heal ‘. There’s sorrow in her voice, and she sings in a way that makes us feel her pain and ache with her. Even with all the heartbreak and sadness, she still somehow ends up in a bright and hopeful place – and that’s truly remarkable. The production of “Invisible” relies on simplicity. It is a lovely country-inspired pop ballad, carried by acoustic guitars and shy strings; it does a wonderful job of never overshadowing the raw emotions in her vocals and lyrics. “Invisible” is a powerful track, coming from a place of truth and humanity like very few others. Samsara is a force of nature, and her career is still at its very beginning. This girl is going places, and I hope I can tag along on her ride. I write what I’m feeling and sing it with emotion. I don’t try to create a hit song.

< Back Press Articles StreamLINE Music Single Review StreamLINE Single Review: "Hard To Love" StreamLINE Single Review - Samsara "Hard To Love" Humbly branding herself as “just a girl who loves to sing”, singer-songwriter and musician Samsara has dazzled music listeners with her richly-toned, lavish voice, which has been at the forefront of a variety of ear-catching singles ( Feel, Blame It on the Rain ) and most recently, an EP release, Love Upside Down . Samsara’s distinct vocal stylings span a diverse section of genres including country, pop, jazz, rock and selections in the adult contemporary space. Today, we are going to spotlight a spectacular track from her new EP which is titled, “Hard to Love”. The heart-stirring ballad is an intimately personal song and composition which was conceived directly out of Samsara’s life experience. She provides some further context into the song as she explains how it all developed…. I fell in love with someone over the internet long distance. My EP “Love Upside Down” chronicles the journey of watching him sleep through a screen “Long Distance Lullaby” (due to the time difference) and imagining all the things we could do together in person if he “Made My Dreams Come True,” and we had the “Love For All Time,” we hoped for. Ultimately, he told me on my birthday that it was harder for him to love me than he expected. I decided maybe it was just too hard for him to love me and the song was “birthed.” – Samsara Wow! Going against the grain of the old saying that life imitates art, in this circumstance, art imitates life. Samsara does a tremendous job conveying the theme and sentiment of the song via a pristine, emotive vocal performance. Her vocal inflections encompass you as a listener with how demonstrative and expressive her delivery is, gravitating you to every segment of the lyrical content. Samsara provides an engaging performance which projects the genuine place and emotional impact from which these lyrics derive from. It all flows extremely well with the song’s instrumentation which is a smorgasbord of music; containing quintessential country music elements including a twangy, high pitched electric guitar. However, the song also includes a buoyant piano riff which gives the song a mystique of nostalgia, sounding similar to a 60’s ballad or something that could have been placed in the original Grease soundtrack. “Hard to Love” is available on all streaming platforms and you can listen to it via the Spotify link below. Stream it on repeat and save it to your Favorites Library for quick access. While you’re there, please take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the other selections on the Love Upside Down EP. Also, scroll further below to connect with Samsara via her social media platforms and last but certainly not least, we have enclosed the full-length lyrics to “ Hard to Love ” so you can sing or read along to the magnificent voice of Samsara. Enjoy! Samsara Bio Samsara is a singer-songwriter who plays keys/piano and a little guitar. Her beautiful original music is cinematic, heartfelt, catchy and spans the genres of country, pop, jazz, rock and some adult contemporary ballads that belong in a Disney movie. She delights her fans with her mesmerizing voice and tells the stories of your life in every song. She describes herself as “just a girl who loves to sing.” “Love Upside Down” is an EP released in August 2022 that tells the story of a long distance love that didn’t work out. Lyrics to Samsara’s “ Hard to Love ” Sometimes you win And sometimes you lose in love Either way, I end up with the blues What matters most in the end they all say It all comes down to how you play the game They say all is fair in love and war But I don’t know what we were fighting for Maybe these rules Only apply to fools And those who are keeping the score I found it easy Simple to do The things we were dreaming of And me loving you You said it’s harder Than it should be Maybe it’s just too hard for you to love me Why is it harder than it should be? Baby, maybe you just can’t love me Oh I found it easy Simple to do The things we were dreaming of And me loving you You said it’s harder Than it should be I think it’s just too hard for you to love me What matters most in the end they all say It all comes down to how you play the game It’s all about how, how you play August 25, 2022 Original Link: https://streamlinemusicblog.com/2022/08/25/samsara-hard-to-love/

< Back Press Articles StreamLINE Artist Feature StreamLINE Artist Feature & Interview: SAMSARA Hello everyone! StreamLINE is excited to present a new installment in our interview series. We had the opportunity to connect with multi-dimensional singer-songwriter Samsara and she provided tremendous insight into her inspirational path to music, latest projects and other interesting facts surrounding her life story. Read on to catch the entire interview below. Enjoy! Hi Samsara, please tell us a bit about your background, where you’re from etc. What were your early music influences? I was born in London, UK to Irish parents. When I was 11, my parents moved us to Ireland, where I went to high school and college. I moved to the US when I was 20 and have lived in Chicago, IL, Palm Beach FL and the Washington DC area. My Dad was born in rural Ireland on a farm, but was a huge fan of American music, Johnny Cash, Sam Cooke, especially, but he adored jazz. He sang and played multiple instruments and his influences played a role in my musical tastes. When I was 15, my mother and I visited the US and I heard Steve Perry (Journey) for the first time. I immediately heard the Sam Cooke influences in his voice and was excited to share with Dad. Steve Perry has been my biggest influence. I fronted my first rock band at 15. Dad passed away that year asking me promise to continue with music. After immigrating to the U.S., I became a jazz singer first, and will always think of jazz as my first love. Later, I toured as a backing vocalist for famous musicians before audiences of 30-50k. I wrote a few songs for independent movies and other musicians, but never performed my own songs. I left the road and fronted multiple bands, but didn’t make it as a solo artist. During an abusive marriage, I quit music entirely for 13 years because he didn’t want me to sing. A few years after escaping my ex-husband, I found the courage to perform in cover bands again and started writing songs inspired by my life experiences. Finally, in 2022, I felt the need to release my own music. And here we are today! What was the defining moment or time in your life when you decided to pursue music on a professional level? The first time was when I was 22 after a near-death experience with a brain injury that put me in a coma for 3 weeks. I quit law school and decided to pursue music full-time. I didn’t make it as a solo artist then. In 2016, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour and initially given a year to live. At the time, I was trying to recover from a broken heart. I wrote a plethora of songs and even recorded one in the studio. But then, I didn’t release them so only my friends heard them. In 2021, I lost my day job during the COVID pandemic. Watching the struggles of many in the world, by March 2022, I had a burning desire to release my original songs feeling that if I didn’t share them, they would never be heard. I finally got the courage to release my first single and the positive response to that inspired me further. I wanted to create a legacy of my life and experiences in the hope that someone would relate and feel less alone in this world. I hear that my songs help people to smile, dance, cry their pain out, or fall asleep at night. That’s really all I ever wanted to do in life — help someone else. It’s quite an honour to hear that my songs do that. How would you characterize your sound and what inspires your creativity? Is it sparked by actual life events/experiences or just a vibe that you get into? I don’t have a specific genre and my music spans country, pop, rock, adult contemporary, jazz. My voice was recently described as being sweet like molasses with a chaser of bourbon. I think my voice is very expressive and affects listeners in different ways. I’m often told there’s just “something” about my voice that people can’t really describe. My creativity is always inspired by my experiences in life. I’ve written songs about my broken heart, about being in love, and some were inspired by the incredible grief at the passing of my beloved cat, Socsana. Congratulations on the new EP release! How was the recording process during the project? Did you have any collaborators in the making of the EP? All the songs were written between May 20 and June 28, 2022. I recorded all the songs from home and learned how to produce and mix between June and August. The vocals were recorded in one take to give a “live” sound. It’s been quite the experience to learn how to do all that. The most difficult part was knowing that I’m recording my voice for me to listen to. I have no problem singing live for others, but knowing that the audience was going to be me, the recorded vocals was quite difficult. Like many singers, I’m my own worst critic. There were times I lay on the floor and cried that my voice wasn’t perfect enough. Ultimately, the process helped me to accept myself and even start to love myself and my own voice. It became easier as time went on. For some songs, I hired musicians in other countries and learned how to work with them to produce the sound I wanted. A couple of friends on Twitter spaces gave me feedback on the drums and bass that were invaluable as those are instruments I’ve never played. What’s the song that resonates the most with you personally from this project? “Hard To Love” because I’ve always felt I was too hard to love, too needy. I don’t have any family and remember my ex-husband saying that to be my partner, someone had to be my lover, my best friend, and somewhat of a father figure, and it was too much for one person. I’m a very emotional person and always have been. I recently found a collection of poetry I wrote as a teenager and brought with me from Ireland and it revealed to me that I’ve never changed. I experience everything a little deeper than others — but that seems to be the way most artists experience life. After many years staying out of relationships entirely, I took a chance on love again — this time, long distance. On my birthday, when he told me I was a bit needy and it was harder than he expected it to be, I wrote this song. It’s a somewhat cheeky retort in that I’m telling him I think it’s just too hard for him to love me, not that I’m actually too hard to love. Do you feel that the internet, social media and the dominance of streaming has benefited recording artists? Streaming has hurt us all financially because we are paid almost nothing per stream. Friends have been shocked to hear how little artists get and that we have to pay to distribute our music. Listeners don’t even own the music they pay a hefty fee to stream. They’re essentially leasing music and if their credit card expires, they discover they own nothing. Social media has created negative publicity and false hype for artists with every little bit of gossip being manufactured to create a buzz. It seems the public is catching on and becoming tired of it all. I’m finally seeing a return to the public demanding quality in music and not wanting to know all the nitty gritty details about fake feuds between artists. Twitter spaces and Discord servers emerged during the pandemic as a way for artists from all around the world to inspire and collaborate with one another. Listeners turned up to hear creative music being shared without even knowing what the artists look like. It’s like a return to the old days of listening to music on the radio and not knowing much about artists’ personal lives. However, it creates a way for artists to talk to our listeners directly. What’s the best advice you’ve been given; either personally or professionally? Always be kind and compassionate. You never know what another person is going through. The kind word you share with them today might be the only kind word they’ve heard all week, all month, all year. Being kind is free and it may change the trajectory of someone’s life. What activities do you enjoy outside of your music and entertainment industry related endeavors? Going for walks, laying in the sun, enjoying time with my cat, listening to other people’s music. What’s next up musically for you in 2022 and beyond? Any projects, music videos, features or solo live shows on the horizon? What’s your goal for the Samsara brand? I’m working on a few upcoming singles and an LP of music I’ve written over the past 7 years. I’m working with a nonprofit to raise money for charities I’m passionate about (pet and domestic violence related). I’ll be performing live in the Metaverse. I’m very involved in NFT music, have released a collection on OpenSea and hope to release more NFT songs. I see it as the evolution of music giving artists more control and allowing fans to support us directly, while investing in our future and their own.
