“Sami Stevens’ did more than impress with her first solo outing, she quickly established herself as one of the most promising songwriters to appear in the past few years.” - Glide Magazine
Brooklyn-based Jazz, Soul and Folk influenced singer/songwriter Sami Stevens crafts a musical world based in silence. Partnering with Sunnyside Records, she is proud to present ‘Morning’, her anticipated first full-length solo album.
Born from a love of classic American music and an ear for storytelling, ‘Morning’ showcases Stevens’ rich vocal delivery as it ebbs between intimate personal stories and stunning symphonic textures, treating the vastness of the human condition with painterly impressions and an empathetic disposition.
“Stevens has an incredible set of pipes, which’ve made her stand out even in BK’s bustling performance culture … On the LP’s latest offering “Tonight”, Sami seats you right in the swing set and nudges you through a three-and-a-half minute cycle of delicate instrumentation, perfectly-subtle percussion, progressive chord structures and Stevens’ one-of-a-kind featherweight falsetto.” - KUTX
