Samora fuses genres on new album

Switzerland-based recording artiste Samora has released her 13-track album, titled Chameleon, ahead of her European tour.

The album features songs about love, sex, heartbreak and motivation, with fusions of reggae, contemporary R&B, pop, dancehall and Afrobeat. Samora said the album's title symbolises adaptability and change.

She said: "I chose the title 'chameleon' because it's versatile and colourful when it comes to the music and the sound. I didn't particularly focus on a theme, so it just gives you this freedom in word and listening."

The Surinamese-Dutch artiste also opted to include Jamaican reggae artistes on tracks like All the Way with Anthony B and Please Be Mine with Turbulence. Other collaborations include Let Them Go featuring Jah Mason and Reggae I'm in Love featuring La Tifa.

Samora is known for singles like What You Came For with reggae recording artiste Lutan Fyah, Jah Inna Mi Life and Fake. Chameleon is distributed through Hapilos.
