Samantha Fish’s newest release is a bold, genre-blending statement that captures the raw power of her live shows and channels it into one of the most complete studio records of her career. Opening with the rocky I’m Done Runnin’, an older cut originally shelved from her release Faster, she quickly sets the tone with a stripped- back groove that builds into a defiant, vocally assured anthem this will be an instant live set contender.
What follows is a masterclass in dynamics and range. Can Ya Handle The Heat? brings infectious stomp and melody. The sublime tones on the track, Lose You smolders before erupting into a towering blues-rock crescendo. Tracks like, Sweet Southern Sounds and the earthy tune Off In The Blue show her command of texture and mood, gliding seamlessly from Southern soul to Americana roots.
The explosive highlight, Fortune Teller is a slow-burn blues that erupts gloriously, while the garage-rock swagger of, Rusty Razor (featuring Mick Collins) is a riotous, retro-flavoured joyride. The title track Paper Doll is a deep-cut blues ballad, sweeping and emotional, showcasing Samantha’s spine-tingling guitar work and lyrical finesse. The final track, Don’t Say It winds things down with gentle lamentation and grace.
With these new tunes, Samantha Fish doesn’t just deliver a strong blues album, she redefines the edges of blues-rock with fearless experimentation, soul, and fire. It’s a record that dances, aches, and roars and proves she is as powerful in the studio as she is on stage.
