Wide Open (Summer Of '95)

This album introduces a new twenty-two year old artist named Mara Hruby from Oakland, CA. She arrived on the scene at the start of 2010, playing shows throughout the Bay Area, and is releasing her debut EP, From Her Eyes. Mara has worked on this album for the past nine months; she has applied her multi-talented dedication to recording, arranging, and engineering her own work. She has performed on stage, dancing and backing other artists in the Bay Area; unconsciously preparing herself for this path. She has chosen to speak through music in order to connect with those of us who love music. 

These seven tracks represent the genesis of the view “From Mara’s Eyes” of the various works of her favorite male artists. Each song is connected to a memory experience in Mara’s young life. The beauty and elegance of Van Hunt’s “Character,” Bob Marley’s love of Jah, Mos Def’s soulful poetry, André “3000” Benjamin’s “Take Off Your Cool,” as well as D’Angelo’s “Send It On” – are all examples of art forms from today’s exceptional musicians. 

Send it On

💫 A laid-back groove with streetwise swagger. “In Love The First Time Around (So Special)” blends acoustic neo-soul warmth, contemporary R&B smoothness, and a touch of indie-blues cool. This is Sammi Dae at his most slick and confident—capturing the rush of first love with equal parts intimacy and swagger.

Reimagined through the vocal identity of AI artist Devyn Cross, this version sits at the heart of DGG Productions’ ground-breaking project: giving Luke Carter’s songs new life by pairing timeless human song writing with next-generation AI performance. In a music industry obsessed with image and youth, Carter has created a roster of AI artists—including Sacha Rome, Thea, and Devyn Cross—to front the music he has written, produced, and originally performed himself. These artists are more than voices: they are digital performers built to carry soul, swagger, and timeless emotion into the future.

With So Special, the instrumentation locks into acoustic guitar textures, slick bass runs, and subtle brass accents—delivering a vibe that is laid-back yet undeniably confident. Devyn Cross’ AI vocal performance transforms the song into a statement of modern romance: smooth, stylish, and impossible to ignore.

🎧 For fans of: Anderson .Paak • Bruno Mars • John Mayer • Leon Bridges • Silk Sonic
🖤 Mood: Romantic • Slick • Streetwise • Soulful
✨ AI Meets Emotion: “In Love The First Time Around (So Special)” is part of the wider Sammi Dae project where each track is reimagined with unique AI vocalists. This fusion of classic song writing and digital artistry marks a bold step forward—bridging the past, present, and future of music from Manchester’s own DGG Productions.

***
"Spain is a song that takes attraction from "like" to "get to know each other better". It's a pure love song, which I feel is something missing in Soul/R&B music lately. For our generation it seems like every song is straight about sex. As a woman, we love being complimented and hearing sweet nothings in our ear. I feel like this song represents the comfort that takes the woman from thinking the guy is attractive to, "I think I like him".
