Samantha Fish has released her latest full-length studio album, Faster, via Rounder Records. The new LP marks the first from the Kansas City-born rocker since 2019’s Kill Or Be Kind.

Faster, a collection of twelve new tracks that blend the singer/songwriter/guitarist’s typical blues-rock sensibilities with new forays into more pop- and soul-leaning spaces, marks Fish’s first collaboration with Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist and producer Martin Kierszenbaum (Sting, Lady Gaga).

The album also features a somewhat surprising cameo from underground hip-hop legend Tech N9ne, who rolls through on the dynamic “Loud” to match Fish’s fiery blues licks with a blood-pumping, hybrid rapped/sung verse.

The Casey Pierce-directed video for the title track, a tongue-in-cheek ode to leaving bashfulness at the door, uses imagery of a classic muscle car to help illustrate its message (“I’ll be nice, I won’t bite, can ya come a little closer. / It’s alright, I just might be the type to wanna be a little bolder”).
