Album Notes

A native of Trinidad & Tobago, Samantha had already been writing poetry for ten years when she became a member of Tallahassee, Florida's Back Talk Poetry Troupe (www.blackonblackrhyme.com) in 2001 where she discovered her gift as a spoken word artist. It was not long before Samantha started sharing her talent with venues all over the South Eastern United States. Now that she has attained her B.A. in Creative Writing from FSU, Samantha is now enjoying her double career as a national spoken word sensation and a graduate student at UVA. Samantha is pursuing her MFA (Masters Degree) in Poetry.

Samantha is also currently promoting the release of her sophomore CD "Merror, Mirror: The Art of Self-Reflection." Speaking of reflection, this CD is indeed a reflection of Samantha's poetic as well as personal maturity. The musical production is sensitive to the work & professional, with Samantha's dynamic content to match. This project has a wide range of human emotion from heartbreak & guilt, to downright laughter. Just like in her debut CD "Uncircumcised: Raw & Uncut," Samantha's mystical imagination never fails to shine through the work.

Some say that Samantha is destined for greatness. Others argue that greatness is destined for Samantha. It goes without saying that supporting Samantha's artistry is not a liability, but an investment. You can learn more about Samantha Raheem at her website www.samanthaspeaks.com.
