Samantha Whates

Though based in London's East End, Samantha's music has more in common with contemporary Scandinavian music (Rune Grammofon et al.) where a lot of importance is placed upon the subtleties of tone, timbre and atmospherics. Of equal influence is instrumental and so-called 'absolute' music which constantly informs her melodic approach.
Her songs are typically reflective, always honest – everyday issues dealt with pensive melancholy, nostalgic yearning and a mature insight that belies her years.
