The singer and songwriter known as
Samara Moni has released her debut R&B and soul single, “I'm
Sorry.” The track has been proudly published on the Galaxy Orlando
Records independent music label without the support or influence of
the corporate music industry. With roots in traditional rhythm 'n'
blues and a modern, razor-sharp studio production, “I'm Sorry” by
Samara Moni is easily one of the classiest, most soulful tracks of
the year and a stunning introduction to this arresting singer from
Florida.
Orlando's Samara Moni has a resonant,
natural singing voice that bears the refinement and elegance of a
veteran chanteuse with several decades of experience, while yet
retaining the clarion, crystalline quality of her actual youth.
Likewise, her style on “I'm Sorry” recalls the whispery tone and
silky smooth texture of performers like Sade and Dido, while her
precision rivals that of Adele and Amy Winehouse.
This comes as no surprise, considering
Samara Moni's own musical pedigree. Her roots include Latin royalty
such as her uncle, Sammy Marrero of the Latin Souls, whose “Latin
Soul Boo-Ga-Loo” remains a pillar of the Latin-soul genre, as well
as her equally famous cousin, Carmen Delia Depini, who recorded over
30 albums – including the Latin version of “We Are the World” –
and was inducted into the International Latin Music Hall of Fame in
2002.
A manzana not far from the
árbol, Samara Moni has been performing live music since
middle school. Her singing career began in earnest even before she
graduated high school when she joined a reggae and rhythm-'n'-blues
act with a residency at Orlando's Peacock Room. In the course of
working part-time at a popular club not long after, she gained a
local reputation as “The Singing Bartender.”
It was around this time that her
microphone tattoo got the attention of a studio producer who would
become her liaison with current producer Joanne Pepitone of Galaxy
Orlando Records. Pepitone is perhaps best known for her recent work
with Grammy-Award-winning producer Frankie Biggz (Mariah Carey,
Eminem, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera) but
she has also worked in various capacities with titans including John
Hammond Sr. (V.P., Columbia Records) and Imarri (“Let Me Love
You”).
“I'm Sorry” by Samara Moni is
available beginning 11 July 2015 from Galaxy Orlando Records. Fans of
rhythm 'n' blues and soul music, remarkable singing, and exceptional
studio production should absolutely get in early.
