Samara Joy [2022] - Can't Get Out Of This Mood [Verve]

Regular blog readers may recall that when Antonio McLendon's single "My Baby" was posted last year that their was mention of his daughter Samara who won The Sarah Vaughn Vocal Jazz Competition in 2019.

She has only just turned 22 years old (on 22 Jul) and has just been signed by the legendary jazz label Verve and has an album "Linger Awhile" due on 16 Sep 2022. It is her second album after releasing a self-titled debut in Jul 2021. Like her last album, the new album has many jazz standards such as "Misty", "'Round Midnight", "Guess Who I Saw Today" and "Someone To Watch Over Me".

Samara Joy's voice belies her 22 years and, unsurprisingly, she is from a rich musical background with, not only her father Antonio, but her grandparents Goldwire and Ruth McLendon who sang with Philadelphia gospel group The Savettes.

To promote the album a single "Can't Get Out Of This Mood" was released on Friday (5 Aug 2022). Be prepared to be 'blown away' and transported back to the golden age of jazz with her extraordinary vocal abilities.

The song was written by Frank Loesser and Jimmy McHugh and featured in the 1942 film "7 Day's Leave" (which starred Victor Mature and Lucille Ball) sung by Sarah Vaughn.

There is no video for the new single but there is one for a recent performance of a song Nancy Wilson made her own in 1960, "Guess Who I Saw Today", (which will be included on her new album) and recently covered on Mike Di Lorenzo's "What We Need" album featuring Denise Stewart on vocals.
