Sammie - One Way Street
Artist: Sammie
Producer: Adonis
Album: TBD
Label: StarCamp Ent./The Bar Music Group
If you’re an unsigned artist slipping into the time of your life when “unsigned” takes on the connotation of “unemployed”, don’t read the rest of this sentence: Sammie signed a record deal before he even hit puberty. When he was only twelve years old, he was snatched up by hitmaker Dallas Austin and put to work on a debut album that would eventually go gold. 12 years and a GED later, the Tampa singer is back. His new single, One Way Street, showcases a much-matured Sammie. The first thing you’ll notice is that his voice has dropped about an octave. His lyrics have also grown up, as he is now old enough to sing about whatever he chooses. In this case, it’s vague street metaphors. No announcements have been made regarding his next album.
This song first appeared on the
R&B / Pop Chart
on August 25, 2008

This production is awesome and Sammie has been holding it down for a while. His last album in 2006 was great and he is one of the premier young R&B vocalists that needs to get more promo and push to be out there to the masses as an artist capable of being a huge force in the R&B game. This song is really crispy. Vocals were on point, production was nuts and the mix was superb. Enuff said. 4 stars for this banger.

This boy's voice is awesome. Not a word I use often, but seems to fit. This song is refreshing. I can see myself riding to this.

Very nice and smooth track. Makes me wonder how CB was able to separate from the pack... Mario, Sammie, Omarion, Trey Songz.

Yessir! Sammie has had talent for years, but his work didn't find its way to the radio and television, enough. This more mature, grown up sound is very appealing. This isn't necessarily a radio hit, but he has it in him.... let's hear it!

This is perfect: great production, good music, cool beat, excellent voice...I don't know about the lyrics, though. I'll be looking for them in a site, I'm curious! This is just my type of song, that one which will make me crazy for a month and more without getting me tired of it! @ jerry: the chorus is good in my opinion ;)

After listening to Sammie and Soulja Boy - Kiss Me Through The Phone, I had to peer into Sammie's previous work. It's hard for me to believe that I overlooked this track. Up to now (4 month's laters), this track has gone unheard in Canada. I must say that the beat is sick, match it with Sammies vocals and what we arrive it is a track that deserves play. I would rate this higher had it received more airplay, but this track is exceptional work.
