Announces Self-Titled EP Out July 15th

Performing in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles in July

[Samsaya - LR]

“She applies a full pop arsenal — short catchy melodies, singalong-ready wordless hooks (“woh-oh-oh-oh-oh!”) and big beats out of hip-hop, punk-pop and Bollywood — to messages of self-empowerment and tolerance. She hit the small indoor stage at Stubb’s as if she were working an arena…” – NY TIMES

“Hyperactive pop that draws influences from all over the globe.” – Rolling Stone

“…the Indian-native singer is fusing modern pop with a slew of international sounds and hip-hop vibes…” – Variance Magazine

Samsaya has announced the release of her self-titled EP on July 15th via BMG. Already a rising star in Norway, Samsaya impressed music fans with her energetic live shows in Austin at SXSW.  She is returning to the US to perform in New York City on July 21st at Brooklyn Bowl, in San Francisco at Popscene on July 25th, and in Los Angeles at Bardot on July 28th.

Samsaya, who was born in India and raised in Norway, mixes pop, dance, hip-hop, funk, and soul with traditional Indian sounds. Her club-ready tunes are influenced by everyone from Mary J. Blige, TLC and Outkast to renowned Indian singer Asha Bhosle. Samsaya, whose name means "doubt" in Hindi, has been writing lyrics and rhymes since childhood. "At 12, I heard Dinah Washington's 'I'm Mad About the Boy' and upon hearing that trumpet-type voice, something happened to me," recalls the singer. "Religious lyrics and traditional music didn't touch me. This moved me."
