Winter (aka Samira Winter) grew up in Curitiba, Brazil before starting to play in bands in Boston, and then moved to Los Angeles. After releasing 2022's What Kind of Blue Are You?, Winter relocated to New York City. She's set to release a follow up album, and just released it's first single. "Just Like a Flower" starts off with this undeniably dreamy sound, with soft and swirling guitars over her just above a whisper vocals. It's the kind of sound that would make The Sundays proud, and just as you're being lulled into a sense of peace, the track kicks it up into a loud and bouncy alt-rocker. With Winter's vocals and guitar keeping the same tone (just played faster), "Just Like a Flower" stays intact throughout without feeling like separate songs. We're always excited to hear new music from Winter, but this one hits a little different.
Samira Winter says of her latest single and video:
“This song captures the essence of daydreaming in your bedroom—a place where limitless imagination and inspiration can exist. It ties back to memories of writing songs in my old bedroom in Echo Park, CA. There were these summer nights when I’d walk back from a local show with a sense of wonder and enchantment, only to lie down on my bed and replay everything that happened in my head like a movie.
“It felt incredibly nostalgic coming back to LA to film the video. The girls were about the same age as those who inspired me during those lost LA summers. It was heart-tugging though, because it was right after the fires and David Lynch’s death, so there was an extra layer of vulnerability in the air. It was so beautiful to see the community come together—it made the video all the more special. In a way, we were documenting these girls in a moment in time, captured in one of their most intimate spaces.”
