Samara Cyn has entered what she dubs her “try new things era”. The Los Angeles-based rapper’s main new discovery has been bungee, a core-crunching fitness class that involves doing press-ups and burpees while strapped into a harness attached to the ceiling. Bedazzling a new headboard for her bed and taking up pottery have also been on the agenda, but more significantly, her music, a sharp and potent mix of lyrical hip-hop and neo-soul, has also responded to her recent adventurousness. That’s what led to ‘Detour’, her essential new EP, released last week. On it, Cyn finds comfort and small joys in pursuing liberation and a more physical form of expression, aided by production aimed directly at the dancefloor. “The whole idea of ‘Detour’ was to do something that you maybe might not expect from me,” she explains. “The project is about freedom. Overthinking is not the vibe.” samaracyn is on The Cover. Read the full story at NME.com/the-cover or at the link in bio. #SamaraCyn #NMETheCove...
