Info

Samantha Farrell’s MySpace page describes her sound as a mix of “acoustic, soul and indie,? but, in many ways, the budding L.A. singer/songwriter places soul at the front of her sound. It’s her voice which draws you in, a soulful mix of Van Morrison’s country hospitality, Ella Fitzgerald’s jazzy range and Fiona Apple’s modern honesty. As best ..ed on her new CD, Spiritus, the curly-haired, bespectacled singer is a truly modern folkie, weaving tails through her stories, but connecting with listeners through her voice. The breezy “Sea Song? is a gentle, coffee-shop lament, while the more progressive folk-rock number “Keep Moving? wouldn’t sound out of place in Ani DiFranco’s more rocking repertoire. “Shake,? perhaps the most unique number Farrell has on display, showcases her acoustic guitar chops and, more impressively, skills as an arranger (nodding to the Tin Pan Alley somewhere along the way.)
