Samantha Urbani

Lost And Sound

Singer, songwriter, producer, political advocate and spiritual New Yorker in LA, Samantha Urbani cut her musical teeth in the Brooklyn indie band Friends, before collaborating with Dev Hynes, singing on 6 out of the 11 tracks on Blood Orange’s Cupid Deluxe. Her upcoming solo album, Showing Up, is bright and sharp and nods to both Tom Tom Club and Janet Jackson. She talks with Paul about how she aproaches the daily practices of creativity, about checking in with yourself on what you believe in, gender inbalance in music and the toxicity that can happen in male written yet femme sung love songs, plus the awesomeness of the late 90s rock-rap crossover trend and how it manifested on the 1998 Godzilla soundtrack

Samantha Urbani's LP Showing Up in available from Sep 22nd, pre-order here.
