Sierra Leone’s most influential artist, Samza, is making waves once again with the release of his latest track, “Somesie.” The hauntingly beautiful piece blends ambient soul, experimental beats, and raw lyricism.
This new single marks a shift in Samza’s sonic journey, delving deeper into atmospheric textures and poetic storytelling. “Somesie” tells the tale of emotional detachment and rediscovery, capturing moments of longing against a backdrop of ethereal soundscapes.
Produced in collaboration with his longtime creative partner VONN, the track features minimalist instrumentation, echoing vocals, and a moody rhythm that lingers long after the final note. According to Samza, the song was inspired by “a trip, a person, and a silence that said more than words ever could.”
Fans have already begun buzzing on social media, praising the track’s vulnerability and cinematic feel. The accompanying visualizer, released on YouTube, pairs abstract visuals with Samza’s signature aesthetic — a mix of soft light, nature elements, and cryptic symbolism.
“Somesie” is now streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud. As anticipation builds for Samza’s upcoming project, this latest release proves that the artist is in full creative bloom, unafraid to experiment and express himself.
