samantha fish kill or be kind

Samantha Fish (from the album Kill or Be Kind available on Rounder Records)
Following a badass bass-born groove into the title track, Samantha Fish walks through a memory, before she was a ‘homewrecker’ and ‘your heartbreaker’, reminding that “Kill or Be Kind” are the only two steps she knows when dancing with her heart. The doors to Kill or Be Kind are kicked open with a wicked groove as Samantha Fish duets with her guitar, matching her vocals to the riffs, equally partnering on first cut, “Bulletproof”. For her sixth solo album, Samantha Fish continues that model throughout Kill or Be Kind, words and music taking a bite, the guitar lines wiggling alongside the warnings of “You Got It Bad”, the beat thumping through an ethereal melody for “Dream Girl”, and the reading of “Love Letters” a seductive tease in the vocals and the guitar string bends. The songs match the goals of Samantha Fish who entered the studio with set intentions, recalling ‘that was my mission on this album: To really set these songs up so that they have a life of their own. Strong messages from the heart – that’s what I really set out for’.
To carve a spot in the world of music, Samantha Fish set her performances on stun, guitar and voice reaching for the extreme borders of whatever projects or live show she plugged in and played. Kill of Be Kind showcases the same spirit though the sass comes with a touch of class as Samantha snarls with the grace of a leopard, gliding across “Try Not to Fall in Love with You”, shredding emotions on words painted with sharp slashes and a gently breathing melody as she asks tough questions in the glow of classic Blue Soul in “Dirty”. Samantha Fish can hear the change, relating that ‘I think I’ve grown as a performer and as a player. I’ve become more respectful of the melody. You can go up and down the fret board and up and down your vocal register, but that’s not going to be as powerful as conveying a simple melody that people can really connect to and sing themselves’. Wrapping her voice around the beauty of a melody shines a Blue light on Samantha Fish as she tells a prodigal lover that “She Don’t Live Around Here” and spits out a message from her heart, part request, part demand, admitting “Love Your Lies”.
