Samia is just a few months removed from releasing her latest album, Bloodless, in April. Samia is in the middle of a tour at the moment and now she’ll have a new song to perform live: Today (September 18), she shared the single “Cinder Block.”
The song was recorded a few months after the Bloodless sessions wrapped and it sees her interpolating Leonard Cohen’s “Suzzane” and “Hallelujah.”
In a statement, Samia says of the song:
“This one’s sort of an extension of Bloodless — took most of it from poems and wanted it to feel like treading water. Was listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen and the Theory of Forms reference in Suzanne felt pertinent — then it just became a recurring bit in the song to quote him. Jack Sparrow’s compass only points to what the person holding it wants the most.”
