Samsaya’s EP Backed By Tour With Lily Allen

Adds Support Dates with Lily Allen + NYC Live Date

Self-Titled EP Out NOW

“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 is heading back to the US this week for several live shows. Samsaya will support Lily Allen in multiple cities including Miami, Orlando, Austin, Philadelphia, Boston and more. In addition, Samsaya will headline a special show in New York City at Mercury Lounge on September 22nd. Tickets for the NYC performance go on sale Wednesday, September 10th at 12pm. All tour dates below.

Samsaya released her EP 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. PRESS HERE to listen to “Bombay Calling” – the second track from her self-titled EP. Samsaya will release her full length album in early 2015.

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.”
