Under the Scope: Sam Amant

April 26, 2008

On this “Under the Scope”, we feature artist out of London by the name of Sam Amant. She is orginally from France. We have feature some of her music on Rhythm Lab Radio. What makes her special is that she is a one woman show. She sings, does all the production, and puts on a great show. Think Grace Jones meets Prince meets J Dilla with a little Bad Brains.

Sam Amant is a solo artist - so solo she doesn’t need a backing band. Instead, she has a sampler and a shiny red Stratocaster. She hits the go button, and all of a sudden she’s freaking all over the stage - ripping out a mutant-soul vocal while beats bounce off the walls. She thrashes frenziedly at her shiny red Stratocaster and generally conjures whirlwinds from the ether. Underneath all the energy-bomb stuff, you can discern Proper Songs,Originals songs..A new Style..
