[SAMSAYA - LR]

“She applies a full pop arsenal — short catchy melodies, singalong-ready wordless hooks and big beats out of hip-hop, punk-pop and Bollywood — to messages of self-empowerment and tolerance.” – Jon Pareles in the New York 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

Fast rising Scandinavian musician Samsaya has unveiled a second track from her forthcoming self-titled EP.  PRESS HERE<http://www.rookiemag.com/2014/07/samsaya-bombay-calling/> to listen to “Bombay Calling” and read her exclusive interview with Tavi Gevinson’s Rookie Magazine.

The EP will be released in the US on July 15th via BMG. Already a star in Norway, Samsaya impressed fans and critics alike with her energetic US live debut at this year’s SXSW.

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."
