Emerging R&B\/Soul artist <\/span>Sami<\/b> is making her mark with her debut EP, \u201cT<\/span>oo Many Days Since Then\u201d<\/i><\/b>\u2014six tracks of emotion, release, and looking toward what\u2019s next.<\/span><\/p>\n The 12-minute EP, produced by two-time Grammy Award winner Brian \u201cKillah B\u201d Bates, is a breath of fresh air for the R&B scene. Sami brings vocals, vulnerability, and that intangible feeling you only get when music hits you in the chest. We\u2019ve all had our hearts broken, and with the holidays and a new year approaching, there\u2019s no better time to sit with those mixed emotions and finally let them go.<\/span><\/p>\n The project blends soul, R&B, and trap, but the piano on the intro track, <\/span>\u201cYou\u2019ll Never Know,\u201d<\/b> instantly takes you back to \u201990s R&B. It\u2019s just Sami\u2019s voice and the piano\u2014those chords, her delivery, the rise and fall of her tone\u2014everything pulls you into the moment. You almost feel like you\u2019re standing in the room with her while she\u2019s recording.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ll Never Know\u201d runs just under two minutes, but it\u2019s full of meaning. Sami searches for clarity after losing someone she loved, even though she knows everything happens for a reason. She realizes the timing wasn\u2019t right, yet her heart still aches, and neither of them will ever know what could\u2019ve been. Ever been there? That \u201cwhat if\u201d hurts just as much as the goodbye.<\/span><\/p>\n The EP also brings some up-tempo energy. <\/span>\u201cWave\u201d<\/b> carries a trap-soul meets tropical feel\u2014Sami wants to \u201cslide on it\u201d and ride that wave. It\u2019s a fun, light moment in the project.<\/span><\/p>\n Next up is <\/span>\u201cMFEO,\u201d<\/b> short for \u201c<\/span>made for each other<\/span><\/i>,\u201d a ballad about finding your person and hoping they never leave.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMade for each other, baby \/<\/span><\/i> The other two tracks, <\/span>\u201cSomebody I Used to Know\u201d<\/b> and <\/span>\u201cSoul Tied,\u201d<\/b> unpack exactly what their titles suggest\u2014<\/span>your lover becoming a stranger but your heart is still connected to them. <\/span>\u00a0\u201cSomebody I Used to Know\u201d also leans on the piano, giving the song a live, intimate feel.<\/span><\/p>\n Sami closes the project with <\/span>\u201cEmpty Promises,\u201d<\/b> featuring a violinist. The live instrumentation lifts the track to another level and ends the EP on a strong emotional note.<\/span><\/p>\n Overall, this is an impressive debut. Sami proves she can sing\u2014really sing\u2014without overselling or overdoing it. She gives just enough, and the production supports and<\/span> also matches what she does vocally-not too much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After listening to this EP, it\u2019s impossible not to look forward to what she releases next. <\/span>Sami is authentic and vulnerable on this project, which calls for records that people can relate to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To stream <\/span>Too Many Days Since Then<\/i><\/b> by Sami, click below.<\/span>
