I cannot contain my excitement about today’s new music discovery. I was passed a note about the emerging singer-songwriter and pop artist Sam Short<\/strong> some months ago…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interest had begun to grow in her since debuting with the track “Already Mine<\/a><\/strong>” at the beginning of the year. The empowering pop ballad she wrote about helping a friend go through a breakup. A song that ignited TikTok<\/a><\/strong> by racking up over 30 million video views in just a few months. It quickly became apparent that Oregon-born, Los Angeles-based Sam harnesses the kind of star power that catches on quick. Because of feeling that she possesses the qualities of a musical artist set to go the distance. I asked our friend Javi Lopez<\/a><\/strong> in Austin to check out Sam’s Unofficial SXSW showcase<\/strong> when he attended the festival in person in March. Since Javi came back with such a glowing report of her acoustic set. I promised myself I would be onto the follow-up release quick smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensing Sam’s sparkling pop sensibilities might take her down a similar route to that of her debut release “Already Mine<\/strong>.” With the sophomore track “Naked<\/strong>” appearing over the weekend. I feel this suggestion I make is not too wide of the mark for the independently releasing singer-songwriter. As with “Naked<\/strong>,” and another future track, “Taste It<\/strong>,” has seen both these trace a similar pattern of activity. First going viral on TikTok and then Instagram alike (with over 5M total views before their official releases).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Listen<\/a>\n\n\n\n
