Slow steps lead Kashena Sampson into the Ghost of Me title track that opens her recent release. The rhythms rise up with commitment before exploding in a cacophony of sounds that fill out the spaces of the song; a confessional tale that spells out the story of Kashena Sampson. The track sets the standard for Ghost of Me, a collection that digs deep into the human psyche. As she goes through “Phases”, Kashena Sampson becomes a pawn on the game board of life while she relates the details of a “Fucked-Up Love” on a revolving wheel of rhythm. Dedicated acoustics strums define the dreamscape groove that opens, and moves across, “Awakening” as Ghost of Me speaks of “God” on a deliberate beat, discusses the “Tragedy of Love” on a persistent patter of rhythm, and relates the ways of “Heartache” over a caffeinated drumbeat.

Creating a circle of life, Kashena Sampson cycles through the various stages that we encounter in the course of a day, and the living of a life. Whether a calculated effort or by default, each album reflects the artists in the moment. Kashena Sampson fully understands that process, explaining that ‘this is an album about ignoring the bullshit and doing what’s authentic to me. Forget the rat race. Forget the bad relationships. Forget trying to please everybody. I’m tired of doing that. I wanted to do something for myself, and that’s what Ghost of Me became…it’s an album for me’. A personal accounting stares back at Kashena Sampson in “Rearview Mirror as she exits Ghost of Me on the memories passing through “Thick as Thieves”. (by Danny McCloskey)
