‘Posers’ is Sam RB’s first single in seven years and her debut self-produced single, recorded in her home studio during lockdown.  She will be releasing a single on the 23rd of each month for the next year, starting with ‘Posers’ today. The collection of songs (Into The Wonder) is being mixed and mastered by award-winning audio engineer, Andrew Buckton.
 
Posers has been described as both chill and upbeat, with a hint of grounded defiance and layers of harmonies and pared back drum and bass. A clever song that pulls the listener in. Like her other songs, it stems from a journey into the fragile dignity of humanity.
“…She still sings with a street-eye view and empathy and speaks of the fragility of people’s souls but her poetic lyrics continue to deepen and widen…” – Graham Reid (Elsewhere)
