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 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.
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!
ok so im a huge sammie fan....n as a fan i must say dat sammie is VERY talented n has a beautiful voice...his last album was very much slept on...dis song sounds like a typical sammie record....i hope its not a single cuz its not radio friendly....sammie needs to cum bac STRONG cuz he only had 2 singles off da last album....
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
revengepenn if you havnt heard of him and u like him, check out these tracks: come with me, you should be my girl, & feelin it, even tho the remix to feelin it is much better...but to this song, its tight and pretty catchy, just not enough bump in the beat if you feel me.
Hot production by Beat Street (not sure if Adonis is on this)... The song has yet to grow on me but hopefully it does.. Sammie is talented... Hope I get on his album.. I got something for him! http://www.myspace.com/bennymakesbeats
