In Samantha James, Om Records could well have a future multi-album star. 'Rise', her debut album, is a smooth and enchanting blend of lite house, fused with her Sade-esque vocals. The eponymous lead single has already set the tone - a potent cocktail of incisive sensuality that perfectly fuses dance-inflected bossa nova rhythms, with waves of vivid vocal emotion. And on the remainder of the opus, she creates a beautiful marriage of chill beats and multi-layered musicianship that ooze of a rare quality.
