Prior to that, Samia stopped by KEXP for a performance session and shared the video for “ Amelia ” filmed by Muriel Margaret, showing Samia’s band performing to packed houses of ecstatic fans singing along to every word. The song is named for Amelia Meath from Sylvan Esso, who along with bandmate Nick Sanborn, runs Betty’s, the North Carolina studio where Honey was recorded.

There’s a line on Honey , the upcoming album from Nashville-via-NYC songwriter Samia , about Aspen Grove, a collection of 40,000 trees in the plains of North America, all connected by a single expansive root system. There’s no stronger metaphor for the audience the 25-year-old empathy engine has been generating since she began releasing music seven years ago. Her songs, her fans, her friends: one enormous, interconnected ecosystem.

Honey , comprising eleven new moments of catharsis , is by and for that organism. The album was recorded at North Carolina studio Betty’s –- owned and operated by Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sandborn and Amelia Meath , frequent touring partners of Samia’s . It was produced by Caleb Wright , part of the team that helmed The Baby, Samia’s “ excellent 2020 debut ” ( Pitchfork ) , and a founding member of one of Samia’s favorite bands, The Happy Children. It features some of her nearest and dearest friends: Christian Lee Hutson , Briston Maroney , Jake Luppen , Raffaella . Its songs were surreptitiously road tested for her devotees while opening for Lucy Dacus , Courtney Barnett, and more.

Samia shares the following about Honey : “This record is about learning to see the love around you. Sometimes the only thing I can be certain of is the way it feels. Even when I zoom all the way out, the little things matter the most. I was trying to imagine looking back at the end of life and what I’d have to say about it right now. This is a little bit of it. Telling stories, making amends, trying to show people I love them. It’s a community record – I made it with Caleb Wright and our friends in the woods in North Carolina.”
