A collection of sharp, guitar-driven indie pop that captures the raw theatricality and biting wit of a songwriter finding her voice in the city.
2018 · Grand Jury
Before The Baby sounds like the moment a private internal monologue becomes a public declaration. It is a collection that prioritizes the raw, jagged edges of Samia's early songwriting, where electric guitars provide a nervous, energetic backdrop to her extraordinary vocal range. The album oscillates between hushed, intimate secrets and soaring, theatrical belts that demand attention. It feels like a series of polaroids taken in dimly lit bars and cramped apartments, capturing the specific anxieties of young adulthood with a clarity that is both painful and empowering.
