Samantha Fish Paper Doll Album Release Date Announced

Samantha Fish is gearing up to release her new album, Samantha Fish Paper Doll, on April 25, 2025. Following the success of her previous album Death Wish Blues in 2023, which earned her a Grammy nomination and placed her at the top of the Billboard Blues Chart, Fish is ready to take her music to new heights with this highly anticipated project.

The album, produced by Bobby Harlow of The Go, showcases a mature and refined version of Samantha Fish as an artist. Her fans can expect an exciting collection of tracks that reflect her continued growth and musical exploration. “This album is a reflection of where I am in my life right now,” says Fish. “It’s the culmination of years of learning, experimenting, and evolving. I’ve finally found my voice in the studio, and I’m really proud of this one.”

One of the most exciting aspects of Samantha Fish Paper Doll is its diversity in sound. Fish worked with a talented team of musicians, including Ron Johnson on bass, Jamie Douglass on drums, and Mickey Finn on keys. Together, they created an album that blends blues, rock, and soul with a raw, unfiltered energy that fans of Fish’s live performances know and love. The album was recorded in two different studios: The Orb in Austin, Texas, and Savannah Studios in Los Angeles, with Fish collaborating closely with her bandmates and producers to create a sound that feels fresh and unique.

For Fish, this album marks a new chapter in her musical career. It’s an opportunity to explore new territories both sonically and lyrically. “I’ve always felt the need to challenge myself, to push the boundaries of what I can do as an artist,” she shares. “This album allowed me to explore themes that are very personal to me, but also universal in the sense that we all go through similar struggles, growth, and change.”

Fans of Samantha Fish will be thrilled to hear that Samantha Fish Paper Doll features a collaboration with Mick Collins of The Gories. Collins’ unique style adds a layer of raw energy to the album, and their partnership on one of the tracks creates a truly exciting and dynamic sound. “Mick brought something entirely different to the table, and working with him was a great experience,” says Fish. “He pushed me to try new things, and it really shows on the record.”

The first single from the album, Sweet Southern Sounds, has already captured the attention of fans and critics alike. Written with blues artist Anders Osborne, the song explores the tension between career ambitions and personal relationships. The track features a driving guitar riff and soulful organ, setting the tone for the rest of the album. Fish describes the song as “a reflection of the struggles we all face when we’re trying to balance our professional lives with our personal ones.”

In addition to the album release, Samantha Fish has announced a 2025 tour to promote Samantha Fish Paper Doll.
