LISTEN HERE: https://soundcloud.com/samantha-urbani/hints-implications   "Urbani hasn't lost her creative spark... grooves are more sinuous and the lyrics just as cutting" SPIN   "Heavy, shimmering...smoldering" Gorilla Vs Bear   Samantha Urbani may be best known as the front-woman for conceptual punk pop chart crashers Friends but, now with her long awaited solo project, she is about to cut her own unique swathe through the music landscape all over again.   Until now, Samantha Urbani has been teasing us with sporadic drops of tantalizing pop gems - from the urban strut of "U Know I Know", to the sparkling, irresistible rush of "1 2 3 4" and, most recently, the RnB infused "Go Deeper". Now, Urbani is about to unleash the full scale of her brilliantly skewed pop vision with her debut solo EP,Policies of Power.   "Hints and Implications", which premiered via The FADER, is the bold opener, a future anthem with a soaring chorus that is set to turn heads at sixty paces. The FADER called it "stellar" and described it as having "'80s-inspired guitars hotter than the July sun". Drawing on influences as varied as New Order and Nu Metal, the song itself, though insanely infectious, is a simmering tangle of barely contained frustration. Urbani explains:   "at its core its about the ontology of truth - whether interpersonal communication/"honesty" is even possible, considering the subjectivity of our individual reality-perception. but surface level its really about that breaking point where you stop trying with someone when you can't even get a motherfuckin text back."   Writing, recording and producing the EP with a number of key collaborators, including co-producer Sam Mehran, in several different bedrooms and basements in LA and NYC, "Policies of Power" is both a remarkably assured and sleek statement of intent for Urbani, as well as a sly clarion call for listeners to dissemble and question the dynamics of power and communication. With this EP Urbani has well and truly declared herself a force of nature on the pop landscape.   Hints and Implications will be digitally available July 19th. "Policies of Power" EP is to be released on August 18th but is available to pre-order now, on a limited edition transparent colored vinyl run of just 300 copies, The EP will be released by Lucky Number, in-conjunction with Samantha's label URU, Track Listing Hints and Implications 1 2 3 4 U Know I Know Go Deeper Time Time Time
