Samara Cyn – “Auto-Pilot” single
“You like a flower from the hood, grown right out of the concrete. I see you from the mud, babe, you made it out, you eating good. Still, for your life, a bounty, run for your life, my dear. You get that top shelf just to ease your mind. Only the best because you do your best, I know you do your best. Your only way to slow the time, yeah, I mean what else is there for you to rest? Your vision is cloudy, cloudy like the room from this blunt smoke. You puff on chemicals straight from the feds. Good ganja what we get from the islands. Check your meds.” – lyrics
‘Auto-Pilot’ finds Samara Cyn taking listeners on a journey through the mind of someone struggling to cope with the hardships of life. With a smooth neo-soul intro and raspy vocals, the song explores the use of technology and other unhealthy habits as a means of escape. The rolling rap cadence picks up the pace, questioning the true effects of these coping mechanisms. Is it healthy to detach from reality? Can we truly thrive on autopilot? As the song comes to a close with a cool melody and clever rhyme flip, it leaves you pondering the answers to these questions. “Auto-Pilot” is a soulful and thought-provoking track that speaks to the struggles of our modern world.
“Maybe, I’m bugging or we’re really onto something.”
Samara Cyn has a sound that stands out from the crowd. With new, modern soul and nostalgic hip-hop undertones, her southern twang cuts through the record with hints of West Coast influence and lingo. Cyn’s singing and rap combo is a breath of fresh air in a modern era that calls back to Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill. Simply put in her bios, she “makes music for ya auntie.” Her concepts are rooted in internal conflicts with self, society, and peace. While her message and raspy voice are different from the current trends, what truly sets her apart is her knack for fitting smoothly into the pockets of various styles of production with a niche in our favorite laid-back tempos.
Cyn turned her early open mics into opening invitations/headlines for artists and venues such as Teddy Swims, Tory Lanez, SuperDuperKyle, House of Blues Houston, Valley Bar, and Crescent Ballroom Phoenix. She named some of her inspirations to be Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Missy Elliot, JID, and Kendrick Lamar.
