Canadian singer Sampson has made her debut with the emotive single ‘Shake The Fire’. Written whilst dealing with depression, the song is an otherworldly and moving electronic pop cut, beautifully produced around the angelic vocals of the up-and-coming artist. A brilliant and blissful first offering, ‘Shake The Fire’ is taken from Sampson’s forthcoming LP.
Touching on ‘Shake The Fire’, Sampson mentioned:
“Shake The Fire’ is about papa (my grandad), who was a huge supportive force in my music. I remember as a kid showing him my very first song and driving to music lessons listening to Edith Piaf; he was my best friend.”
“His passing was really hard for my family because he was so invested in me and my siblings. Feeling grief was definitely a time when I came to understand mortality as more than just a word people use. I wrote ‘Shake The Fire’ while realising that we never really have full control of anything, especially not time.”
