Samia has shared a new instalment of her reimagined singles series.
The project features acts such as Blondshell – who kicked off the run with ‘Charm You’ – and Maya Hawke reinterpreting songs from Samia’s recent album ‘Honey’. The latest drop is ‘To Me It Was (HOVVDY Version)’.
Samia shares: “‘To Me It Was’ is one of a few songs on ‘Honey’ that existed in a bunch of different iterations before its final form. I wrote it with Christian Lee Hutson a year before we started making the record. We both played separate versions live in our sets a few times. When I first started playing it out it was this big rave up of a rock song. In the studio and in the context of the record the song just made more sense stripped down, with this really warm back porch feeling. Hovvdy turning it into a bedroom pop song feels exactly right – the perfect middle ground.”
Hovvdy adds: “It was an honor to cover and get to know such a well-written and beautiful song.”
