Sami Stevens & the Man I Love is “the tenderness you need today” – Stereofox. This captiving group draws together cohesive, classic RnB style arrangements, impeccable vocal lyricism and phrasing, Joni Mitchell-esque jazz harmony, and intense dynamic range — having you fighting back tears one minute and up on your feet the next. With the Man I Love, Stevens hopes to ride the line with listeners, lovingly challenging them with new sounds and ideas, and drawing them in with undeniable melodies.
With the Autumn 2017 release of their first album, And I’m Right, Sami Stevens & the Man I Love have carved out their rightful place in the NYC scene. And I’m Right (Leesta Vall Records), produced by Somerbridge Music, gives an imaginative, fresh take on old, warm sounds and grooves. Drawing comparison to artists like Emily King, Amy Winehouse and Hiatus Kaiyote, the record weaves through elements of Jazz, Singer-Songwriter music, and Classic RnB. And I’m Right is a window into Stevens’ world, telling stories of vulnerability, love, growing pains, and fiercely powerful perseverance.
“And I’m Right” has the mark of maturity and that’s a rare thing to find these days…the lyrics often impress as well with “She Is God” and “Child They Said Was Mine” mixing together Phoebe Snow style lyrical intelligence with a concise emotional impact.” -Bluesbunny
