Sam Ferrara’s newest single, "I Need A New Fix," is a bold and refreshing departure from typical country tropes, blending clever songwriting with an eclectic soundscape that pushes the genre’s boundaries. Co-written with Kathy Devine and Sarah Hardwig, the song confronts betrayal head-on, with a no-nonsense attitude and lyrical bite.
Vocally, Ferrara brings an energy reminiscent of Sheryl Crow’s effortless cool, balancing grit with a laid-back confidence. Like Crow, Ferrara knows how to deliver a line with just the right amount of attitude, keeping the track grounded while letting her vocals soar when it counts.
Sam also incorporates the soulful, genre-blending qualities of Norah Jones, pulling in subtle jazz and pop influences that give the song a rich, textured feel. The result is a vocal performance that’s smooth yet edgy, combining country heart with a broader musical palette.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning Matt Leigh, "I Need A New Fix" seamlessly fuses organic and contemporary elements, giving the track a distinctive edge in today’s country scene by delivering something fresh while staying true to its roots.
Ferrara’s songwriting shines as she balances humor and heartache, making "I Need A New Fix" more than just a breakup anthem. It’s a song about resilience, reinvention, and the power to move on—delivered with a wink and a smile. Her ability to blend sharp, relatable lyrics with an innovative, cross-genre sound places Ferrara in a league of her own.
"I Need A New Fix" proves Sam Ferrara’s versatility as an artist. It’s a track that doesn’t just invite listeners to get over their troubles, but challenges them to face life with creativity and confidence.
I first came across Mühle-Glashütte on the forums in link the early aughts, when the original model of the Rasmus caught my eye. The tough-looking Fricker case stopped me in my link tracks, and since then I'd been watching from afar. I once tried on the SeeBattallion GMT at a European airport sometime in 2013. There link was clearly a pattern with the sort of watches I was drawn to, but ironically it wasn't the beefy tool watches out of the Mühle-Glashütte range that I ultimately fell for.
The Ferdinand link Berthoud Unique Piece FB 1.6-3 In DLC Steel, for Art In Time: Case, black DLC-coated octagonal stainless steel, with two sapphire portholes in the case flank; 44mm x 13mm, water resistance 30 meters. Sapphire crystals front and back. Vertical satin-brushed dial. Hands, 18k white gold with Super-LumiNova; link red-varnished 18k gold power reserve link hand; red-varnished bronze center seconds hand.
I gotta hand it to her, you can always outdo a watch flex with three Grammys. But the watch is link pretty great too. Victoria Monét, winner of the "Best New Artist" award, the "Best R&B Album" link award for "Jaguar II," and the "Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical" award for link "Jaguar II," was rocking a Bulgari Serpenti Secret in a stunning variation I haven't seen before.
As you can see in the photos, this includes a new watch, the Spring Drive GMT 'Eagle' USA Limited Edition SBGE263. It's got link a patterned link brown dial and brown ceramic bezel that, despite its neutral tone, link sets it apart from the pack of mostly black, blue, red, green, and orange sport watches we're used to seeing.
