Cheers to the Bay Area Reporter for including Samantha Sidley’s “I Like Girls” on a Valentine’s Day roundup of “New music From LGBT artists.” The song, which “could not be clearer in its sapphic intent,” is “both witty and unique.”

“I arranged the song so it would feel trippy and retro – like an atomic aged dream.

Once again, Sam knocks it out of the park with a vocal performance that'll melt your hardened heart. Track available everywhere this Friday via Release Me Records.
Samantha Sidley’s version of “Waltz For Debby” is featured in the new film Sylvie’s Love starring Nnamdi Asomugha and Tessa Thompson. The Amazon Original is streaming now and getting rave reviews - it’s 93% fresh, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
According to Sidley, “I had to learn ‘Waltz For Debby’ in Swedish. Jemima Kirke lip syncs to me about 12 minutes and 30 seconds in. A couple months later I was doing a casual at the Jonathan Club and an old man walked up to me asked, ‘Do you know ‘Waltz for Debby?’’ I was like ‘DO I!!!’” Hear her take now.

“Samantha Sidley Was an ‘Interior Person’ Before This Whole Thing Happened” — Los Angeleno
The girls who gathered for Samantha Sidley’s iconic “I Like Girls” video have all gone home, and now Sidley is all alone in the “Quarantine Edition” music video for the title track from her debut album Interior Person, named one of the Los Angeles Times’ “Best Albums of 2019.”
“I honestly had no idea quite how poignant this song would become,” Sidley says. “It was written as a positive twist or response, if you will, to the isolation that accompanies depression. The song has taken up a new meaning during the pandemic, which has pushed all of us to be more isolated physically and emotionally.”
