Nashville, TN (October 18, 2024) – Hot on the heels of her 3-time Josie Music Award-nominated debut album ‘Piece of Me,’ Sam Ferrara is back with her powerful new single, “I Need A New Fix,” co-written with Kathy Devine and Sarah Hardwig. With a sound that’s equal parts sassy and soulful, Ferrara is poised to guide her audience through a new chapter, where life’s obstacles are tackled with creativity and bold resilience.
Ferrara gives a glimpse of the song’s empowering narrative with a standout verse that captures the raw emotions of realizing it’s time to move on: “Walked through the door after happy hour / Find my man, not alone in the shower / Maybe it’s time to call it quits / Slammed the door—I’m out, got no time for this.”
“This song is about celebrating life’s hurdles and creative coping mechanisms,” says Ferrara. “Sometimes you just need to mix it up to ‘FIX’ it up!” – and that’s exactly what she does in this fresh, 90’s-inspired anthem, blending small-town storytelling with a bold sense of empowerment that resonates with listeners from all walks of life.
Ferrara’s journey has been one of perseverance and grit. After hearing a stranger tell her to “take her life back,” she found the courage to chase her dreams, a sentiment echoed in her hits “Get Out of My Town” and “Whiskey Memory.” With “I Need A New Fix,” Sam continues to challenge her listeners to confront life’s struggles head-on while embracing the unexpected twists along the way.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning Matt Leigh, “I Need A New Fix” is the first taste of Ferrara’s forthcoming EP, set to release in 2025. This new chapter sees Ferrara at her most vulnerable, but also at her most fearless, bringing raw honesty, wit, and musical innovation that will leave listeners craving more.
