“If I got what I wanted, would I want the thing I got”

2025 has been a good year for Samia. A critically-adored new record this Spring, a viral breakout for one of her most devastating songs, “Pool,” this Summer, and a Fall that’s kicking off with headline dates across the US & UK, the announcement of her first ever stop at Coachella, and incredibly… a brand new song!

Recorded in Minneapolis only a few months after Bloodless sessions wrapped, “Cinder Block” finds Samia directly weaving a long-time love of legendary songwriter Leonard Cohen into her lyricism. Here, she interpolates two classics, “Suzzane” and “Hallelujah,” singing “I’ve touched your perfect body with my mind” and “this is my Hallelujah.” All over a gentle electric guitar strum that anchors a song swelling with tender persistence and patient intensity.

In other news, Samia was announced for next year’s Coachella – just the first of what is sure to be a busy festival season. She’s on the road right this minute – hit the artist page for tickets.
