Samara Cyn – Bad Brain: After turning heads with her debut The Drive Home, Samara Cyn is back—and she’s digging even deeper. Her new single, Bad Brain, produced by longtime collaborator Whit Kane, is a soulful, slow-burning reflection on the noise we carry in our heads and the quiet clarity we crave.

Built around a sample from Thee Sacred Souls’ “Can I Call You Rose?”, the track moves with a steady, hypnotic rhythm—equal parts soul, hip-hop, and something dreamier. Samara doesn’t just sing; she invites you inside her thoughts, exploring the mental push and pull of anxiety, self-doubt, and the longing to break free. “It’s about battling the distractions and fears that mess with your peace,” she says—and the music captures that perfectly.

Currently, Samara is on tour with Smino as part of his Kountry Kousins Tour, which runs through June 22. Handpicked by Smino himself, the tour has become a showcase for her rising star power and undeniable chemistry with fellow genre-benders. It’s another milestone in a breakout journey that’s already seen her praised by Complex, Rolling Stone, and GENIUS, with cosigns from legends like Nas, Lauryn Hill, and Erykah Badu.

From the viral impact of tracks like “Katana” and “massa freestyle” to her unforgettable COLORS performance, Samara Cyn has quickly proven she’s not just an artist to watch—she’s one to feel. And with Bad Brain, she gives us another reason to tune in, stay present, and listen closely.
